Luton captain Tom Lockyer will leave hospital on Thursday, the club confirm after on-pitch collapse

Luton have confirmed captain Tom Lockyer will be released from hospital on Thursday and available for pre-season training.

The 28-year-old fell to the ground during their Sky Bet Championship play-off final against Coventry on Saturday and was taken to hospital after being carried off the pitch on a stretcher.

Lockyer has since undergone tests at London’s Cavendish Clinic and the club have confirmed he can take part in their preparations for Premier League football next season.

“The Wales international has undergone all necessary medical tests and observations to be able to go home for a rest before pre-season begins,” a statement on the Luton website said.

“We would like to thank everyone for their messages of love and support for Locks, who has had an unforgettable season and proudly led the team out on Saturday as his teammates get the job done for him.

He said, ‘Well, not quite where I thought I’d be celebrating at the final whistle!

‘I would like to say a massive thank you to the wonderful physios and doctors at Luton and Wembley for the prompt and thorough response.

‘A much scarier moment for anyone than myself, I’m sure!

Condolences to Coventry, a fantastic opponent over 3 games to be decided by penalties.
