Tom Lockyer given oxygen as Luton & Coventry medics rush to help him off on stretcher after collapse in play-off final
TOM LOCKYER has had a heartbreaking end to the Championship play-off final.
The Luton Town star was stretched off the pitch just 12 minutes into the clash against Coventry.
Lockyer, 28, was running back and appeared to trip over away from the ball and then stayed down.
The Welshman then received attention from medical staff from both clubs before being stretched off the pitch.
As he was carried off, he was given oxygen by the medical teams and was conscious as he was taken through the tunnel.
He is now in a medical room at Wembley Stadium and is with his parents.
The defender was substituted with former West Ham academy product Reece Burke coming on in his place for Luton.
And plenty of fans were concerned for the defender on social media.
One tweeted: “Not sure what happened with Tom Lockyer but this looked pretty scary.”
A second wrote: “That’s really scary.”
A third said: “I hope he’s okay, very very scary.”
While a fourth added: “I do hope the lads ok.”
Lockyer had thought he had scored earlier in the game, only to see the goal ruled out for an offside by VAR.
Luton and Coventry are playing for a spot in the Premier League next season.
The two sides reached the final after beating Middlesborough and Sunderland in the play-off semi-finals respectively.
