    Luton’s captain, Tom Lockyer, passed out on the field, forcing the team to abandon their Premier League match against Bournemouth.

    Halfway through the second half, both sets of players were substituted out as Tom Lockyer received medical attention.

    The crowd on all four sides cheered as he was carried off on a stretcher after a few minutes.

    The 29-year-old defender was later described as “alert and responsive” in reports from the field.

    Tom Lockyer was taken to the hospital after collapsing during the play-off final victory over Coventry in May.

    After undergoing heart surgery, he was cleared to resume playing in June.

    Following confirmation that the match had been called off, players from Bournemouth and Luton returned to the field to cheer on the fans.

    “The match between AFC Bournemouth and Luton Town FC has been abandoned due to a player medical incident,” the Premier League said in a statement.
