According to the news of journalist Fabrizio Romano on social networks, English Luton Town defender Tom Lockyer, who had a heart attack during the match against Bournemouth, said that he felt great.
“I feel great afterwards. The reason I feel so good is because of the heroic actions of the players, staff, doctors and paramedics. I’m very grateful to them,” said Lockyer.
The incident occurred in the 62nd minute of the match against Bournemouth in the 17th round of the English Premier League (EPL), when the score was 1:1 on the scoreboard. The player fell ill on the field, doctors treated him and carried him on a stretcher to a room under the stands to provide assistance.
Due to the incident, the match was stopped and the players left the field. 20 minutes after Lockyer was taken away, it was decided to cancel the meeting.
It is noteworthy that a similar incident had happened to Lockyer before. In May 2023, a football player playing for the Wales national team lost consciousness during the match against Coventry City in the championship play-off match for promotion to the Premier League. He was immediately sent to hospital from the stadium. He was later diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, underwent surgery, and was able to continue his acting career.
Formerly Manchester United in the name It’s a complete disgrace.
