The Luton captain had a defibrillator fitted afterꦡ collapsing during a game against Bournemouth in December. He had previously collapsed seven m༺onths earlier during a game at Wembley Stadium because he suffered atrial fibrillation.
The 29-year-old Lo✱ckyer, who recently became a father for the first time, has not given up hope of resuming his playing career. But he accepts that may not be possible.
“I've made no secret saying I would love to retu💎rn to football, but ultimately it would have to come down to someone who's a cardiologist or a specialist who has done full research intoဣ what has gone on and if it could happen again, because we've got a little girl now and she takes priority,” Lockyer told BBC Radio Wales.
“I would love to play football a✃gain, of course I would, it's my life but if it's the case that I can't, then I'm at peace with that as well."
