Football faced a shocking incident this weekend as the Premier League clash between Luton and Bournemouth was abandoned when Luton’s Tom Lockyer suffered a cardiac arrest, collapsing on the pitch. The match came to a halt in the 59th minute as medics rushed to attend to Lockyer, with both teams visibly distressed. Luton manager Rob Edwards instructed players to make way for the medical team, and the match was eventually abandoned after a lengthy delay.

Lockyer, the Luton captain, was carried off on a stretcher to a standing ovation from both sets of fans. Luton later confirmed that Lockyer suffered a cardiac arrest but is now stable, undergoing further tests in the hospital. The decision to abandon the match was made as players from both sides were not in a state of mind to continue.

The football community rallied around to show support for Lockyer, emphasizing the severity of the incident. The Premier League has yet to announce whether the fixture will be replayed or continued from the point of suspension.
