Impact Ogbene was feared to have suffered a torn Achilles, and after being assessed that was confirmed. It's an awful turn for the winger, who finished the season with no goals or assists and just five appearances (three starts) for his new club. Samuel Szmodics should be in for more minutes with Ogbene out.

Appears to suffer Achilles tear Ogbene appears to have picked up an Achilles tear and looks likely to be done for the season, according to manager Kieran McKenna, per RTE.ie. "It looks serious, unfortunately. It...

Impact Ogbene looks to be out for the rest of the season, with the attacker fearing to have suffered a torn Achilles after being stretchered off the field Saturday. He is still waiting on further assessment, although it doesn't appear the diagnosis will change, leaving this as a crucial loss for the club. This will leave him out for six to nine months, likely ending his season. He hasn't been a regular starter, but his absence should still mean more time for Jack Clarke, Samuel Szmodics and Wes Burns.

Stretchered off with injury Ogbene was forced off in the first half of Saturday's match against Brentford with an injury.

Impact Ogbene was stretchered off the pitch in the 35th minute being replaced by Wes Burns. More information about the extent of Ogbene's injury should be available following the match.

Starts twice for Ipswich Ogbene has started twice in four appearance since signing with Ipswich Town from Luton Town.

Impact Ogbene saw his second start on the bench after featuring four times in the starting XI for Ispwich Town. He had decent playing time with Luton Town in the PL last campaign, with 20 starts in 30 appearances while scoring four times with an assist. His experience has led the wingers to climb up the depth chart, collecting seven tackles (three won), three clearances and three crosses (one accurate) in the four games played.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Signs with Ipswich Ogbene has completed a transfer to Ipswich Town from Luton Town, according to his new club.

Impact Ogbene is returning to the Premier League after being demoted with Luton Town last campaign, with the attacker joining newly promoted Ipswich Town on a four-year deal. He started in 20 of his 30 appearances last campaign, notching four goals on 35 shots and one assist on 26 chances created to go along with 79 crosses. That said, he is a decent contributor who could see solid time on the pitch this season, likely fighting for starting time but beginning in a rotational role.

AUGUST 28 • ROTOWIRE

Scores four in first PL season Ogbene scored four goals and recorded one assist in 30 appearances (20 starts) this past season.

Impact Ogbene recorded five goal contributions in his first Premier League campaign as he took 35 shots (14 on target) and created 26 chances. He also kept one clean sheet, recorded 79 crosses (11 accurate) and made 31 clearances. As his side was battling relegation in March, he suffered a hamstring injury over the international break and was forced to miss seven matches and by the time he could return it was too late. The 27-year-old will likely drop down to the Championship with Luton and fight for another promotion.

MAY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Returns after multiple matches out Ogbene (hamstring) is on the bench for Luton Town during Saturday's trip to West Ham.

Impact Ogbene returns for the first time since March after missing seven matches through injury. A regular starter when fit, Ogbene will likely need minutes from the bench after his time out.

MAY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Out weeks with hamstring injury Ogbene is set to miss weeks with a hamstring injury suffered over the international break, according to manager Rob Edwards.

Impact Ogbene is yet another major miss for Luton Town and it's the second notable injury he's suffered this season. His absence means more changes for the starting XI, though they don't have many options left. Ogbene will hope to recover in the next couple weeks and be ready before April is over, but with any hamstring injury, nothing is ever a guarantee.

MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up injury Ogbene has been reported to have gone down with an undisclosed injury during his spell with the Ireland national team, per Sean O'Connor of the Irish Independent.

Impact Ogbene appears to have gone down with an injury, as he was announced to have returned to Luton Town from his international duties due to an undisclosed injury he picked up. This could be a tough blow for the club, as they already are without over 10 players due to injuries and may lose another, although the attacker is still yet to undergo testing, so it is unknown how severe it is or when he will return. This will most likely leave him out of the club's match against Tottenham on Saturday, with Andros Townsend will be Ogbene's probable replacement while he is out.

Impact Ogbene got himself on the scoresheet Wednesday by scoring Luton's second goal, sliding the ball into the net from an Alfie Doughty cross. Apart from this strike he did not provide much attacking impact and was subbed after 88 minutes. It was his second goal in four EPL games.

Nets early Ogbene scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), three crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 4-1 loss against Liverpool.

Impact Ogbene got on the scoresheet early in the first half during Wednesday's loss, a nice return in such a tough clash. Ogbene has been brilliant of late, against all opponents and continues to cause issues any time he steps on the pitch. The winger will continue to take a major role in all matches with major offensive upside and a solid floor.

Scores once in win Ogbene scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 4-0 win versus Brighton.

Impact Ogbene got involved very early in the match by assisting on a shot attempt in the first minute of play. His squad was relentless in opening the scoring before the second minute of action, and Ogbene piled on as he netted the second goal of the match in just the third minute of play. The goal marks his second of the season and his first goal contribution in his last seven appearances. This also marks just the second time in 21 appearances on the season that he recorded more than one shot on goal.

Starts in FA Cup Ogbene started in Luton's 0-0 tie against Bolton in Sunday's FA Cup match, notching a full 90 minutes in his return to the starting XI.

Impact Ogbene is back in the mix for Luton, having played a full 90 in the club's most recent FA Cup match after only being a bench option in the club's past three contests due to recovering from an undisclosed injury. He will hope to maintain this spot moving forward, as he was a regular starter in the the 10 matches leading up to his knock. If this is the case, expect Albert Sambi Lokonga to move back to the bench while Ogbene takes over the starting role in the center of the defense.

JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Available, but on bench Ogbene (undisclosed) is in the squad to face Bournemouth on Saturday.

Impact Ogbene returns as expected from an injury which kept him out of last week's match against Manchester City. The attacker starts from the bench having scored once and provided an assist in 15 league appearances.

DECEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back for Bournemouth trip Ogbene (undisclosed) is expected to make the trip Saturday for the clash against Bournemouth.

Impact Ogbene is expected to return to the starting XI Saturday after missing the last match with an undisclosed injury. He's scored and assisted one during the last seven matches played, logging in 16 crosses (three accurate) and 12 clearances in that span.

DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Sunday's squad Ogbene (undisclosed) is not in the squad to face Manchester City on Sunday.

Impact Ogbene misses out entirely on Sunday's match after playing just 28 minutes from the bench in mid week. Andros Townsend and Elijah Adebayo are playing attacking midfield on Sunday.

DECEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Notches first assist of season Ogbene assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win over Crystal Palace.

Impact Ogbene earned his ninth consecutive start on Saturday, notching an assist on Jacob Brown's game-winner in the 83rd minute. This was Ogbene's first assist of the season and only his second goal contribution in his 13 appearances. The attacker should continue in a starting role for the time being after starting on the bench for the first four matches of the campaign, especially having two goal contributions in the last five matches.

NOVEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Confirmed as starter Ogbene (ankle) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Crystal Palace.

Impact Ogbene is good to go after being a doubt in the buildup due to an ankle injury. The attacker has scored one goal while taking 11 shots, creating 10 chances and crossing 34 times in 13 appearances.

NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Training on grass but uncertain Ogbene is back in training but is uncertain whether he'll be available to face Crystal Palace on Saturday, manager Rob Edwards revealed Friday. "Chieo's been OK. He had to have a b...

Impact It seems the Hatters have not made a decision on whether Ogbene will play Saturday or not, but it seems he's trending toward not being available. Ogbene couldn't represent the Republic of Ireland during the international break, and it seems Luton Town are being cautious with his recovery. The 26-year-old has one goal in 12 Premier League appearances this season.

NOVEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Left out of Ireland squad Ogbene (ankle) was not included in the match-day squad versus the Netherlands on Saturday.

Impact Ogbene's absence from the national team squad certainly doesn't bode well for him being fit enough to face Crystal Palace on Saturday. The attacking midfielder made eight consecutive starts for Luton heading into the international break, registering one goal on 10 shots (three on target), 32 crosses (one accurate) and 10 chances created. If Ogbene can't play versus Palace, Tahith Chong could be in contention for a spot in the starting XI.

NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Battling minor injury Ogbene is hopeful to play for Ireland over the break despite dealing with a minor injury, according to head coach Stephen Kenny.

Impact Ogbene has maybe been one of the biggest surprises of the season, at least for Luton Town. After leaving Rotherham United and signing with Luton Town as a free agent in the summer, he's become a focal point in the attack. He came off the bench the first month and has started the last eight league matches, often providing a spark with his creativity on the ball, en route to 10 shots, 10 chances created and 32 crosses in those eight starts.

Scores against Forest Ogbene scored a goal off two shots (one on target), created two chances, sent in six inaccurate crosses and made two tackles (both won) and four clearances during Saturday's 2-2 dr...

Impact Ogbene had appeared more with his defensive contributions than on offense, where he's supposed to make the difference, but then he appeared at the right place to benefit from a clearance that went the wrong way and cut his side's deficit to just one goal in the 83rd minute. That's the first goal of the season for the winger, who will try to keep it up during Oct. 29 visit to Aston Villa.
