Edwards: Lockyer to be released from hospital soon

Luton Town manager Rob Edwards says Tom Lockyer will be out of hospital soon following his collapse in Saturday's Sky Bet Championship play-off final.

Lockyer was carried off on a stretcher after just eight minutes of the Hatters' Wembley win against Coventry and remains in hospital.

Speaking to Sky Sports News ahead of Tuesday night's LMA Awards, Luton boss Edwards reported the 28-year-old was well on his way to recovery and would be released from hospital soon.

"He's good, thank you for asking," Edwards said. "He's in the hospital at the moment, he's very bored. Everyone's checking in with him, everyone's supporting him, he's in really good hands and he will be out soon."

Rob Page expects to welcome Lockyer back into the Wales squad in September, with the manager saying Lockyer was in good spirits during a 20-minute telephone conversation on Monday.
