Lockyer suffered his cardiac arrest during the second half of his side’s Premier League match at Bournemouth.
The game was subsequently abandoned and is likely to be replayed in full.
Offering an update on Lockyer’s condition on Sunday afternoon, Luton Town wrote in a statement: “While our captain Tom Lockyer remains in hospital following the cardiac arrest he suffered on the pitch at Bournemouth yesterday, we understand that supporters are concerned for him and that there is widespread media interest in his condition.
“Tom is still undergoing tests and scans, and is awaiting the results before the next steps for his recovery are determined.
“We are unable to provide a running commentary on his situation, and request that all media please wait for any updates to be released via the club’s official channels when the time is right.
“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.”
Yesterday was the second time that Lockyer has collapsed on the pitch in 2023, having done so during last season’s play-off final against Coventry at Wembley.
It was confirmed that the 29-year-old suffered with atrial fibrillation, a condition that causes an irregular heartbeat.
He subsequently underwent heart surgery and was given the all-clear to play again.
