Luton and Swansea players had been warming up when the incident occurred.
The game was dedicated to the British Heart Foundation. Ahead of the game, Luton explained why they dedicated the game to the foundation: “With the first anniversary of our captain Tom Lockyer suffering a cardiac arrest on the pitch at Bournemouth approaching.
“The charity with whom we have worked closely in recent months will be out on the Kenilworth Apron before the game spreading the word on their Every Minute Matters campaign and the importance of learning CPR.”
