Will the game be replayed?

Will Bournemouth vs Luton be replayed and would the match start again from scratch?

The Fa rules suggest that the match could be replayed "in its entirety" which would suggest starting again from 0-0.

It says: "An abandoned match is replayed unless the competition rules or organisers determine otherwise.

"In the event of a competition match not being played or abandoned owing to causes over which neither club has control, it should be played in its entirety on a date to be mutually agreed by the two clubs and approved by the competition.

"Failing such agreement and notification to the competition within [x] days the competition shall have the power to order the match to be played on or before a given date."

But the Premier League rule L.39 states: "The Board may order a League Match which for whatever reason lasts for less than 90 minutes to count as a completed fixture or to be replayed either partially or in its entirety."

Man Utd's classy message

Man Utd have sent their best wishes to Tom.

Quick-thinking from Edwards

Rob Edwards has been hailed for his quick-thinking reaction after Tom Lockyer's terrifying collapse.

Medical staff ran on to treat the defender after he was checked on by the Cherries midfielder Philip Billing.

Manager Edwards was also quick to act as he instantly ran onto the pitch.

The Englishman could be seen waving away the players in order to give Lockyer space.

He could be seen saying "away, away" to players from both sides in order to allow the medics to do their work.

Support flooding in
