But after the Hatters won the clash by beating Coventry after a penalty shootout, Lockyer was still able to celebrate.

His dad, Steve, shared an incredible photo from the hospital room that he was in at the moment Luton won.

Steve then gave a positive update on his son’s health.

He wrote: “Tom’s Dad here. Tom is ok.

“Very happy but so sad he can’t be there with his team-mates. Here is the moment…….”

And fans loved the update as one wrote: “Fantastic and the most important news, wishing him well, congratulations!”

A second said: “Great to see that Tom is doing ok. I’m absolutely buzzing for him and can’t wait to see him in the Premier League next season, amazing!”

While a third added: “Great to see the joy. Thoughts are with the Lockyer family still, even in this moment of joy. Get well soon!”

Both teams’ medical staff attended to Lockyer after collapsing off the ball on the Wembley pitch.

He was then given oxygen but was conscious as he was stretchered to the medical room at the Stadium.

It was later confirmed that he was with his parents before being taken to hospital for further tests.

As the game continued Jordan Clark put the Hatters in the lead in the 23rd minute before Gustavo Hamer’s second half effort forced the game to extra time.

Joe Taylor thought he had won it late on but his goal was ruled out for handball leading to the shootout.

Both sides went perfectly until Coventry’s Fankaty Dabo blasted over, leading to Luton Town’s victory.
