Luton have issued an update on Lockyer's condition stating both sets of players were in no state of mind to continue playing.<\/p>\n

A statement read: "We all hope and pray for our leader and captain Tom Lockyer, who is thankfully responsive and has been taken to hospital.<\/p>\n

"We don\u2019t know the full extent of what happened and what the next steps are at this stage, but we thank Bournemouth and the medical staff on both sides for their immediate response, which was absolutely amazing.<\/p>\n

"We are sorry to all supporters present that players from both sides were in no state of mind to continue with the game after seeing their much-loved team-mate and friend taken off like that, and staff could not carry on with managing the game in such circumstances having had to deal with the situation.<\/p>\n

"Our thoughts are with him and them all."<\/p>\n

The players were sent to the changing rooms as Lockyer received treatment on the pitch – after Luton boss Rob Edwards ran onto the pitch to tell players to make way for the medical team.<\/p>\n
