Wales and Luton defender Tom Lockyer is determined to return to football at the top level, like Christian Eriksen, after suffering two cardiac incidents.
Wales and Luton defender Tom Lockyer is determined to reach the same level of acceptance as Christian Eriksen following his heart problems . Lockyer has experienced two cardiac incidents on the pitch, including a cardiac arrest, and was close to a comeback before suffering an ankle injury in December. He aspires to be seen solely as a talented footballer, where his health setbacks are no longer a topic of conversation, similar to Eriksen's current standing.
\The 30-year-old acknowledges the challenges ahead. While working with the same cardiologist as Eriksen, his ankle injury has temporarily halted his progress. He admits time is not on his side, as he approaches 30, but remains optimistic about his chances. Lockyer's first collapse occurred during Luton's Championship play-off final victory against Coventry in May 2023, due to atrial fibrillation. He made a full recovery but suffered a cardiac arrest during a Premier League match against Bournemouth in December 2023. \Despite setbacks, including recent ankle surgery, Lockyer maintains a positive outlook. He recognizes his good fortune in being alive and chooses to focus on the future. He emphasizes that he wouldn't waste anyone's time if he didn't believe a successful return to football was possible
