Sky reporting Tom collapsed, paramedics on pitch. Game suspended, players off pitch. Sounds worrying.

BBC commentator Chris Wise has just reported that they have been told Tom Lockyer is "alert and responsive" in the tunnel.

I'm glad he's ok but he'll most likely have to retire after this  |

This is awful, I'm glad he is responsive, that's almost certainly a very sad ending to his career.

I really hope he's okay and above comments suggest he's responsive.

Hate to say it but I never want to see the lad play again. Peak of his career but there's more to life than football. Let's hope he is fine.

Why get ahead of ourselves here. Let's see what the medics have to say. I don't see any reason at this stage to write his career off.

Even if it's minor and just something wasn't right I think you have to think about stopping. After collapsing once due to a heart and again for any reason it's time to think too much of a risk. |

Are you a medic? Why not just allow Lockyer to make a decision himself? Of course, the fact that he's had two serious medical issues in quick succession will weigh heavily on his mind. But I don't see what's gained by making such a big decision for him. |

I see the antivaxers on Social media have taken advantage of Tom’s condition to further their cause.
Apparently he’s collapsed because he had the vaccine (which i presume they don’t even know if he has had it)
Lowest of the low.

Alfie Mawson was paying a four figure sum a month towards the end of his career for a knee injury. |

Shall I not phone him then? I don't know why you think I'll be making his decision for him. You do know its an open forum where we put ideas and opinions across, usually when theres emotion involved. Not tell players what to do. If it comes back he had low blood sugar levels then a few will look foolish, but they've abandoned a Premier League match as both teams didn't wish to continue. Of course it will be his decision on medical advice, or probably by insurance these days. Of course his health will be private, but as fans it doesn't stop us from seeking conversation will fellow fans when there's concern about the lad. We are all deeply concerned for him, he's own of us. |

Just checked the news for tye first time after being out all day.
Absolutely horrible and frightening for Tom. Its a massive shock too after what appeared to be a full recovery after his previous issue.
Hope he makes a recovery and regains his health.
Sadly, I dont think he should be back on the pitch after this. Sense must prevail after having two heart related medical issues.
Massive shame for us as he looked so good recently.

What is it with people? Let the poor lad recover, and then, in the fullness of time decide on the best course of action based on the best medical advice. I find the audacity that some have in thinking they know what's best for Tom quite remarkable. Just rein in the egos a bit.

You're talking like we're making the decision for him, chill out. You don't have to go off on one just because you don't agree with someone. This isn't a hamstring injury we're talking about here, across the World players collapse on the pitch and die every season so when someone collapses twice in the space of 6 months it becomes a huge concern. |

No it's not, nobody on here is trying to make a decision for him. People are suggesting that it might be time to consider the future given the enormity of this, this isn't your standard football injury. |

Medical professionals told him it was safe to continue his career after his op earlier in the year. Clearly professional medical advice was not accurate |

Obviously his heart has a major failing of some sort. I think it’s safe to say his career as we know it will be over. There’s more to life than running yourself into an early grave. get well soon fella and go and enjoy your life doing something much less strenuous |
