Luton captain Tom Lockyer left the hospital on Wednesday where he had been since suffering a heart attack on December 16 during the match, his club announced on Thursday, without giving any indication of the rest of his career. The 29-year-old defender has “begun a period of rehabilitation in the comfort of his home following his release from hospital on Wednesday,” Luton Town FC said. The club promoted to the Premier League evokes “encouraging news” occurring after the successful break on Tuesday of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator “to avoid a repeat of Saturday’s incident”. This device allows you to monitor your heart rate and intervene in the event of an abnormality. This is what allowed Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen, victim of a heart attack in 2021 at the Euro, to continue his professional career, currently at Manchester United. Lockyer suffered discomfort and collapsed on the Bournemouth pitch on Saturday in the championship, a worrying scene which recalled a similar scare experienced by “Locks” in the final of accession to the Premier League at the end of last season at Wembley .
