Luton boss Rob Edwards admits Tom Lockyer's cardiac arrest was 'the scariest moment I've ever had' as he hails 'incredible' medical staff... with the Hatters captain now out of hospital after having defibrillator fitted

Luton Town boss Rob Edwards has described Tom Lockyer's on-pitch cardiac arrest as 'the scariest moment I've ever had'.

Hatters captain Lockyer, 29, is back home after having a defibrillator fitted under his skin to prevent any repeat of his collapse during their Premier League game at Bournemouth last Saturday.

Manchester United and Denmark star Christian Eriksen underwent a similar procedure after his cardiac arrest during the European Championship in June 2021.

Luton said medical tests found this incident 'was different from the atrial fibrillation he suffered in May' when Lockyer collapsed in the Championship play-off final against Coventry City at Wembley.
