Premier League announced that Bournemouth & Luton be replayed in full

The Premier League has announced that the game between Bournemouth and Luton Town, which was called off last weekend, will be replayed in its entirety.

Hatters captain Tom Lockyer collapsed in the 59th minute of Saturday’s game after suffering a cardiac arrest, forcing the game to be abandoned.

The Premier League board has decided to replay the game in its entirety, but no date has been set.

‘Following the on-field medical emergency involving Luton Town FC player Tom Lockyer, the Premier League board has decided that last Saturday’s AFC Bournemouth v Luton Town FC fixture will be replayed in its entirety,’ according to a statement.

‘The game will be rescheduled for later in the season, with a date to be confirmed after consultation with relevant parties,’ says the club.

‘The decision to end the match in the 59th minute was made collectively by match officials, players, managers from both clubs, and the Premier League.

‘The League would like to thank the medical staff and everyone else involved for their quick actions in responding to what was an extremely upsetting situation for everyone.

‘We wish Tom a speedy recovery and send our best wishes to him, his family, and everyone at Luton Town FC.’
