Lockyer, 28, was running back and appeared to trip over away from the ball and then stayed down.

The Welshman then received attention from medical staff from both clubs before being stretched off the pitch.

As he was carried off, he was given oxygen by the medical teams and was conscious as he was taken through the tunnel.

He is now in a medical room at Wembley Stadium and is with his parents.

The defender was substituted with former West Ham academy product Reece Burke coming on in his place for Luton.

And plenty of fans were concerned for the defender on social media.

Lockyer had thought he had scored earlier in the game, only to see the goal ruled out for an offside by VAR.
