EPL: Bournemouth vs Luton Town to be replayed in full

The Premier League has confirmed that the Bournemouth vs Luton fixture will be replayed in full after the arrest suffered by Luton captain Tom Lockyer on the pitch last weekend.

Lockyer collapsed in the 59th minute of the game after he suffered a cardiac arrest.

This led to the match being abandoned.

The rescheduled game will take place later in the season on a date still to be decided.

A Premier League statement added: “The decision to abandon the match in the 59th minute was made collectively between the match officials, players, managers from both clubs and the Premier League.

“The league would like to thank the medical staff and all those involved for their swift actions in responding to what was an extremely upsetting situation for everyone.

“We wish Tom a continued recovery and our thoughts are with him, his family and all those at Luton Town FC.”

Luton said on Sunday that Lockyer remained in hospital undergoing tests and scans, but added they would not provide a “running commentary” on the health of their defender.
