LONDON (Reuters) - Luton Town captain Tom Lockyear remains in hospital after collapsing on the pitch during Saturday's Championship play-off final victory over Coventry City at Wembley, manager Rob Edwards said on Tuesday.
The 28-year-old Lockyear was taken to hospital after falling to the turf with no player around him 12 minutes into the game Luton eventually won on penalties to reach the Premier League.
"We have all been in touch with him and speaking to him every day. As you can imagine the lads, the staff, doctors and physios. When he was texting me last night he was expecting to come out today, not sure if that is definitely the case right now but that is what he was saying to me so we will see."
"I've got some diggers ready to go into Kenilworth Road to start doing some work there tonight. It is going to start pretty soon," chief executive Adam Sweet said at the weekend.
