New scare on a playing field. This time, in the Premier League. In the match between Bournemouth and Luton. In the 65th minute, in the second half of the match played at the Vitality Stadium, Tom Lockyer, captain of the visiting team, collapsed on the field where moments of real panic were experienced again.
As soon as they saw the player disappear alone, all the players ran to help him. It was then that Luton coach Rob Edwards asked everyone to step aside so they could attend to him.
Players and fans put their hands on their heads, while the minutes continued to pass waiting for good news about the player’s condition.
“He is alert and responsive,” Gary Lineker said, citing Bournemouth stadium sources.
Second time it happens
The player was taken out on a stretcher, amidst the applause and concern of those attending the match. The match suspended.
This is the second time Lockyer has suffered such an incident. Last year, in May, he had to be substituted in the 12th minute in the final of the playoff for promotion to the Premier against Coventry.
The captain fainted while running, and had to be taken to the hospital to finally undergo surgery.
According to the BBC, Lockyer suffers from atrial fibrillation, a condition described as an irregular and sometimes abnormally fast heartbeat.
