Luton captain Lockyer has defibrillator fitted. Out of hospital after cardiac arrest
Luton says captain Tom Lockyer has had a defibrillator fitted following his on-field cardiac arrest and left the hospital to begin a period of rehabilitation at homeDECEMBER 21, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tom Lockyer - Discharged from hospital Lockyer (heart) was discharged from the hospital Wednesday and will begin a period of rehabilitation.
Impact The good news is that Lockyer is out of the hospital and had an ICD device fitted to prevent a repeat of Saturday's incident. The other good news is that what he experienced most recently was different to the atrial fibrillation he suffered earlier this year in May. There's no timeline on the rehab, but it's assumed he'll need months to recover if returning to the pitch is in his future.

Marvelous Nakamba - Available after suspension Nakamba is an option for Saturday's match against Newcastle after serving his one-match ban against Bournemouth due to yellow card accumulation.
Impact Nakamba is back in the rotation for Luton, being back as an option after serving his one-match suspension against Bournemouth after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season against Manchester City. The midfielder had been injured going into the match he received his fifth yellow card in but still started, so he should return to the starting XI against Newcastle, having only been left out of the starting XI three times this season, all being due to the injury.
DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mads Andersen - Ready to go Andersen has returned to the bench for recent matches following a two-month absence with a hamstring injury.
Impact Andersen got a decent bit of run early in the season, but he was eventually benched and was only in a bench role prior to injury. However, given the unknown status of Tom Lockyer and the injury to Reece Burke, Andersen could find himself into the starting XI over the holiday period with him and Gabriel Osho likely to compete for minutes.

Tom Lockyer - Forced off with head injury Lockyer was forced off in the second half of Saturday's match against Bournemouth with a serious head injury.
Impact Lockyer left the match in the 65th minute, being stretchered off after sustaining the injury. It seems likely that the defender will miss multiple weeks of action while the severity of the injury is to be determined.
DECEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Albert Sambi Lokonga - Starting against Cherries Lokonga (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Bournemouth.
Impact Lokonga returns from a hamstring injury to start for the first time since September. The midfielder played 18 minutes off the bench last week and had started two straight matches prior to the injury.
DECEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Chiedozie Ogbene - 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
Gabriel Osho - Fit for Saturday Osho (undisclosed) is expected to be an option for Saturday's match versus Bournemouth.
Impact Osho had started his previous six matches at center back, totaling 36 clearances with a goal in that span. He could be in contention for a starting role Saturday, though with Tom Lockyer back from injury, seems to be that the defender will return to the bench unless Rob Edwards decides to switch things up in the back line for Luton Town.
DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Chiedozie Ogbene - 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
Mads Andersen - Active with U21 Andersen played 60 minutes during Luton's 2-1 loss to Chelsea U21.
Impact Andersen got 60 minutes of playing time during the 2-1 loss as he continues to make his way back from a serious hamstring injury. He isn't likely to return before the winter break but any sort of run is a positive update for the defender.
DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Issa Kabore - Option once again Kabore is eligible for Saturday's match against Bournemouth after having to sit out in the club's last match due to Manchester City being his parent club.
Impact Kabore is back in the selection pool for Luton, now being an option for a highly contentious match against Bournemouth as both teams battle to stay out of the relegation zone. There is a decent chance he returns to the starting XI, only having missed five starts all season. He has been decent when on the pitch, registering 12 interceptions, 26 clearances, 28 tackles and 34 crosses in 13 appearances.

Elijah Adebayo - Another goal to name Adebayo scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Manchester City.
Impact Adebayo has attempted only 11 shots this season, and only four of them were on goal. Yet, all four were goals, including his latest one Sunday. Adebayo has scored in back-to-back appearances, which should make it difficult for him to be dropped as Luton Town's team prepares for an away game Saturday at Bournemouth.

Andros Townsend - Records assist again Townsend assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Manchester City.
Impact Townsend may have logged only one accurate cross, but it was all he needed to log an assist for a goal scored by Elijah Adebayo. Now with assists in back-to-back games, he seems to have found his rhythm following his short-term signing with Luton Town. It is at least a little promising that Townsend was able to equal his 2021-22 assist tally in 13 fewer appearances.
DECEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Alfie Doughty - Eight crosses at right midfielder Doughty had eight crosses (zero accurate) and six corners in Sunday's 2-1 defeat versus Manchester City. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 77th minute.
Impact Doughty's latest log proves it does not matter which flank of the pitch he is on for Luton Town, just as long as he can cross from one. In his first game starting as a right midfielder this season, he attempted eight crosses, which is relatively average for him. Since Sept. 23, Doughty has averaged 8.9 crosses across 11 appearances.
DECEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Thomas Kaminski - Concedes two goals Kaminski recorded four saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Manchester City.
Impact Playing against the reigning Premier League champions was going to make Kaminski susceptible to multiple goals getting past him, and that was exactly the case Sunday. Having conceded multiple goals across his last three appearances, he will look to clean his form up Saturday at AFC Bournemouth, a relatively easier opponent to compete against.
