Match abandoned between Bournemouth and Luton Town after Tom Lockyer collapse to be replayed in full | UK News

The Premier League match between Bournemouth and Luton Town will be replayed in full after the collapse of a player during the second half of the game.

Luton Town’s skipper Tom Lockyer is undergoing tests in hospital after suffering an on-pitch cardiac arrest against Bournemouth.

The Premier League Board has decided to reschedule the fixture for later in the season, with a date yet to be confirmed.

The 29-year-old footballer collapsed during Saturday’s Premier League encounter at the Vitality Stadium.

Players and managers from both clubs, match officials and the Premier League collectively decided to abandon and cancel the match at 1-1.

The Premier League thanked the medical staff for responding to “an extremely upsetting situation for everyone”.

Paramedics and staff had rushed to resuscitate the centre-back while manager Rob Edwards ushered his players away from the field.

Luton Town said the “next steps for [Lockyer’s] recovery” will be determined after the results of his tests and scans.

“We all want the very best for Tom, his partner Taylor and the whole Lockyer family, and politely ask that his and their privacy is respected at this difficult time,” a spokesperson said.
