captain Tom Lockyer is hopeful of resuming his career after undergoing rehabilitation with heart specialists in the Netherlands, according to reports.
Lockyer, 29, said at the end of last season that he was ‘at peace’ with retirement should doctors tell him to quit following his cardiac arrest in December 2023.
The defender’s heart had stopped for more than two-and-a-half minutes during a Premier League match at Bournemouth, seven months after he collapsed at Wembley during the Championship play-off victory against Coventry City.
He was fitted with an implantable (ICD) to regulate his abnormal heart rhythm and is eyeing up a return to the sport, The Sun have claimed.
Lockyer has not trained since returning from Amsterdam with Rob Edwards’ side beginning their Championship campaign against Burnley on August 12.
