Premier League star Tom Lockyer reveals built-in body defibrillator after cardiac arrest | OneFootball

The Luton Town defender, 29, suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch during a Premier League match against Bournemouth in December.

In a new interview with the BBC, Lockyer explained that his ICD is “basically a defibrillator fitted into you” designed to restart the heart instantly in case of a similar occurrence in the future.
“I’ve got a nice little scar now,” he said, lifting his shirt.
“It took a while to get used to.”
