Luton captain Tom Lockyer had an emotional reunion with his team-mates on Monday and admitted to feeling "disconnected" with the football world following his cardiac arrest last month.
The 29-year-old visited the club's Brache training ground for the first time since an on-pitch collapse during the Hatters' game against Bournemouth on December 16 left him hospitalised for five days.
He was fitted with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator before being discharged and he revealed he has since been spending time resting and doing jigsaws, as well as a spot of DIY.
"I've really enjoyed coming in and seeing all the lads. I haven't seen them since what happened, so it's really nice to see them all and be back in the building," Lockyer told the club website.
"It makes you miss it. Being away, you almost get a bit disconnected from the football world because it is unique and different than anything else you do.
"Being so active for all my life, not just football but everything else in general, to then be told you can't really do anything has been quite difficult. I've been trying to find things to do in the days.
"I've got a couple of Harry Potter jigsaws but I think the Lego is my favourite. Just anything to try to keep me busy. I'm a bit of a handyman, if you need a wonky shelf or a wonky picture frame [fixing], I'm your man."
Lockyer will be cheering on Luton from the sidelines when they return to Premier League action against Brighton on Tuesday at Kenilworth Road.
