The Vitality Stadium held its breath two weeks ago. As Luton moved onto the Bournemouth pitch, Hatters captain Tom Lockyer collapsed in the middle of the match. A heart attack which logically led the referee to definitively stop the match. If the news was intended to be reassuring, the player had not yet spoken up until now. It is now done.
