Tom Lockyer says he has made peace with never playing football again if doctors tell him to quit following his cardiac arrest.
The Luton captain's heart stopped for more than two-and-a-half minutes during a game at Bournemouth in December, seven months after he collapsed at Wembley in the Championship play-off final victory over Coventry.
'A decision over whether I play again or not is further down the line. But, at any stage, the cardiologist could say you can't play again', Lockyer said at the launch of the Every Minute Matters campaign - a year-long partnership between Sky Bet and the British Heart Foundation to inspire the nation to learn life-saving CPR.
'I am at peace with that though if that is to happen. I'd just look at it as a positive that I am still here, not that I can't play again.
'A decision is out of my hands. I would love to play again, I've made no secret in saying that but it would have to be done safely.
