The 29-year-old Lockyer received about seven minutes of treatment from medical staff on the field at Bournemouth’s Vitality Stadium.
The game was abandoned in the 65th minute, with the score 1-1.
Luton said players from both teams “were in no state of mind to continue with the game.”
“We all want the very best for Tom, his partner Taylor and the whole Lockyer family, and politely ask that his and their privacy is respected at this difficult time,” Luton added on Sunday.
