Prior to his cardiac arrest last month, Lockyer had previously collapsed during Luton’s play-off final with Coventry in May.
After his collapse in December Lockyer said: “I would just like to say that I am doing very well and feeling very much myself after the cardiac arrest I suffered in Bournemouth.
“The reason I’m doing so well is all down to the heroic actions of the players, staff, doctors and paramedics.
“I feel thankful that this happened to me surrounded by these heroes. They saved my life. I will never forget what you did for me.
“While I’m sad not to be involved, I feel full of pride watching the boys carry on the battle without me.
“The fighting spirit I’ve seen in the last three games has given me a much needed lift. I will be doing whatever I can in whichever ways are possible to help the Gaffer and the Club.
