Centre half on the same recovery programme as Christian Eriksen and Daley BlindHatters boss Rob Edwards insists club captain Tom Lockyer will always have a place at Kenilworth Road even if he is ultimately forced to retire from playing.
The 29-year-old will have a well deserved break over the summer, as he continues his recovery from the on-field cardiac arrest he suffered at AFC Bournemouth back in December. Lockyer has been able to step things up in recent weeks, with a number of punditry roles for Sky Sports and the BBC, also returning to Kenilworth Road to help the squad prepare for their final few matches of the Premier League season.
Whether he will ever get to add to his 117 appearances for Town remains to be seen, but asked just what the future holds for him now, Edwards said: “He’s still in that process, the rehab. He’s got a little bit of family time, he’s going to get a holiday and then he’s going back. There’s five or six boxes and these can take a long period of time. He’s got to be able to tick all those things to be able to return and play.
