The Premier League has confirmed that the match will be replayed at a later date.

Expressing gratitude, the club, Tom Lockyer, and his family extended heartfelt thanks to Bournemouth, their supporters, club officials, and especially their medical staff, along with midfielder Philip Billing, who was the first to reach Tom on the pitch and call for assistance.

The statement acknowledges the collaborative efforts of Bournemouth’s medical team, local paramedics, and Luton’s medical staff, emphasizing the crucial role played in giving Tom the opportunity to recover.

“Luton Town Clarifies Distinct Causes Behind Tom Lockyer’s Recent Incident”

Tom Lockyer’s recent collapse, reminiscent of last season’s play-off final incident, raised concerns about his safety in competitive sports.

However, Luton Town has emphasized that the two incidents had different causes, alleviating worries about a recurring issue.

The club highlighted that since the Championship play-off final, Tom and the club sought clinical advice from renowned cardiologists and a team of multi-disciplinary consultants.

Tests conducted this week revealed that the recent issue differed from the atrial fibrillation suffered in May.

Expressing gratitude, Tom, his family, and the club thanked the football community for the overwhelming support and messages of concern.

Despite the challenges, Lockyer’s leadership will continue from the sidelines, inspiring teammates, colleagues, and supporters, starting with the upcoming Saturday match.
