ISTANBUL (AA) - Tom Lockyer has been discharged from the hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest, the English Premier League club confirmed on Thursday.

"We are thankful to report that our captain Tom Lockyer has now begun a period of rehabilitation from the comfort of his own home after he was discharged from hospital on Wednesday," Luton Town said in a statement.

The English top-tier club added that their captain had an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator device fitted to prevent a repeat of Saturday’s incident.
