Luton Town Football Club's announcement of Tom Lockyer's discharge from the hospital serves as a beacon of hope and resilience after the captain's frightening cardiac arrest during the match against Bournemouth. Lockyer, now recuperating at home, commences his rehabilitation following a crucial procedure that involved the fitting of an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) device aimed at preventing any recurrence of the distressing incident.

In a heartfelt statement, Luton extended their profound gratitude to Bournemouth, their supporters, club officials, and particularly midfielder Philip Billing, whose rapid response on the field was instrumental in summoning immediate assistance for Lockyer. The club acknowledged and praised the collective efforts of the medical staff, both from Bournemouth and their own team, underscoring their role in enabling Lockyer's recovery and subsequent discharge.
