Tom Lockyer: Luton Town captain to thank medics who saved his life at Bournemouth

Luton Town's Tom Lockyer will attend his side's game at Bournemouth to thank medics who saved his life after he suffered a cardiac arrest at the venue.

Lockyer, 29, collapsed on the pitch when the clubs met on 16 December.

The Premier League game was abandoned, with the re-arranged match taking place at the Vitality Stadium on Wednesday.

"It will be emotional going back and reliving that experience but we know we have to do it," said Luton manager Rob Edwards on Tuesday.

Luton captain Lockyer has not played since his cardiac arrest, with the defender previously telling how he was "technically dead" for nearly three minutes.
