<\/p>\nLUTON'S match with Bournemouth is set to be replayed in full after it was abandoned due to Tom Lockyer collapsing on the pitch. <\/p>\n
The match was stopped and abandoned in the 59th minute at 1-1 as medics tended to Lockyer, who collapsed off the ball.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Premier League Rule L15 states that any match abandoned with the consent of the referee will be replayed, with the Board to confirm a date and kick-off time.<\/p>\n
And according to the Daily Mail, the top flight is expected to stick to this protocol.<\/p>\n
The Premier League Board has the power to order a match in which 90 minutes has not been completed to be replayed in full or in part, or allow the result at the time of the abandonment to stand.<\/p>\n
Luton confirmed after the match that skipper Lockyer suffered cardiac arrest. <\/p>\n
A statement read: "Our medical staff have confirmed that the Hatters captain suffered cardiac arrest on the pitch, but was responsive by the time he was taken off on the stretcher. <\/p>\n "He received further treatment inside the stadium, for which we once again thank the medical teams from both sides. <\/p>\n "Tom was transferred to hospital, where we can reassure supporters that he is stable and currently undergoing further tests with his family at his bedside. <\/p>\n "We would like to thank everyone for their support, concern and loving messages for Locks."<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Luton\u00a0manager Rob Edwards immediately ran onto the pitch to tell concerned players to make way for the medical team.<\/p>\n Players and staff members from both clubs were clearly in distress as the incident unfolded, with Luton's Issa Kabore appearing to pray on the side of the pitch.<\/p>\n Both teams were then sent back to the changing rooms as medics attended to Lockyer.<\/p>\n The Luton captain was then carried off on a stretcher to a standing ovation from both sets of fans at the Vitality stadium<\/p>\n After a lengthy delay, the match was abandoned shorty before 5pm.<\/p>\n Prior to the medical emergency, Luton were holding Bournemouth to a 1-1 draw.<\/p>\n Elijah Adebayo broke the deadlock within the opening three minutesbut Dominic Solanke netted the equaliser after half time.<\/p>\n Lockyer previously\u00a0collapsed during Luton's Championship Play-Off final clash with Coventry\u00a0in May.<\/p>\n He received medical attention just 12 minutes into the match and was later taken to hospital, where he underwent further tests.<\/p>\n The defender recently\u00a0opened up about his terrifying ordeal, telling The Central Club\u00a0podcast: "I\u2019m back-pedalling, and as I\u2019m back-pedalling my head went really light-headed like nothing I\u2019ve ever had before.<\/p>\n "It\u2019s like when you stand up real quick but worse and then my legs went like jelly almost instantly and I remember falling backwards and the next thing I know I woke up and there were paramedics all around me.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/newspress-collage-fwviay5jb-1701000670946.jpg\")
