Tom Lockyer remained in hospital undergoing tests and scans on Sunday evening after his on-field collapse during Luton Town’s Premier League game against Bournemouth on Saturday.

The Luton captain suffered a cardiac arrest and fell to the ground in the 59th minute of the match at the Vitality Stadium. He was immediately tended to by paramedics and staff on the pitch. Lockyer was taken to hospital and was later described as “alert and responsive”. The match, initially suspended, was abandoned with the clock paused on 65 minutes.
