(Reuters) - Luton Town defender Tom Lockyer has been recalled to the Wales squad for games against South Korea and Latvia as he has now fully recovered from heart surgery, the country's football association said on Wednesday.

Lockyer collapsed during Luton's promotion playoff final win at Wembley against Coventry City on May 27. The club captain spent five days in hospital and had an operation to fix an atrial fibrilation.
