Worryingly he's collapsed on the pitch again and is receiving treatment on the pitch.
Any consideration for football out of the window right now. Thoughts with Tom.
Yes puts it all into perspective. He apparently suffers from atrial fibrillation, which nearly killed me last year ( when it becomes ventricular fibrillation or VF you are having a cardiac arrest and need immediate CPR and a defibrillator to survive)
He is,apparently alert now,
so best wishes for him
The match has now been abandoned.
Game abandoned
That’s good news, but I think that could be the end of his career now. I’ve got atrial fibrillation and, obviously, am nowhere near as fit and healthy as he is, but I’ve never collapsed once in the sixteen years I’ve had it, let alone twice. It’s a condition which varies from person to person and it can be something that can be lived with quite easily by many, but it looks like the version Tom has is not in that category.
I wish him all the best with whatever he decides to do from here.
Best wishes to him

Our medical staff have confirmed that the Hatters captain suffered cardiac arrest on the pitch, but was responsive by the time he was taken off on the stretcher.
He received further treatment inside the stadium, for which we once again thank the medical teams from both sides.
Tom was transferred to hospital, where we can reassure supporters that he is stable and currently undergoing further tests with his family at his bedside.
We would like to thank everyone for their support, concern and loving messages for Locks. 🧡
Wishing him all the best, just been sent a Video of the Bournmouth fans chanting his name
Best wishes for his recovery. Very worrying and shows how fragile we are.
I know this is about Tom but….
Rob Edwards, what a class act, everything the guy does and says is with honesty and openly.
A future Wales manager, no doubt about it.
We are thankful to report that our captain Tom Lockyer has now begun a period of rehabilitation from the comfort of his own home after he was discharged from hospital on Wednesday.

Seems the issue with him last weekend was different to the one in May.
