Amari Bell - Not ready to play Saturday Bell (hamstring) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against Aston Villa.

Impact The Hatters will be extremely depleted on defense, as both Bell and Reece Burke will be sidelined due to hamstring injuries. This means names such as Gabriel Osho and Teden Mengi could be in line for more prominent roles in the upcoming weeks. Bell's next chance to return to action will come against Liverpool on Nov. 5.

Reece Burke - Won't face Aston Villa Burke won't play against Aston Villa on Saturday due to a hamstring injury.

Impact Losing Burke is huge for the Hatters, as the defender has logged seven starts and eight appearances in the early stages of the 2023/24 Premier League, and this match comes too soon for him after picking up the hamstring issue against Nottingham Forest on Oct. 21. Amari'i Bell is sidelined as well, so Teden Mengi and Gabriel Osho are in contention to move to the starting lineup, with Mengi already being in the XI last week against the Trick Trees. Burke's next chance to play will come against Liverpool on Nov. 5.

Gabriel Osho - Playing with developmental squad Osho (knee) played 60 minutes during a 2-1 friendly loss to Notts County.

Impact Osho was deemed good to go and is now getting some youth team minutes to work on rebuilding his fitness. The defender has yet to make his Premier League debut but was a crucial part of the squad in the Championship. With Mads Juel Andersen (hamstring) and Amari'i Bell (hamstring) both suffering with injuries Osho could see some minutes in the first team sooner rather than later.

Tom Lockyer - Logs assist versus Forest Lockyer delivered an assist and made four clearances and one block during Saturday's 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Lockyer and his backline teammates struggled to contain the opposition's attack but then made up for that on the attacking end as he assisted Elijah Adebayo for the game-tying goal with a nice long pass deep into second half's stoppage time. That's now a goal and an assist over the last four starts for the center-back, who also put up 17 clearances during this stretch.

Elijah Adebayo - Scores equalizer versus Forest Adebayo scored a goal off two shots (one on target) and created one chance during Saturday's 2-2 draw against Luton Town.

Impact Adebayo was brought at the 72nd minute as part of a triple substitution with his side still losing by two and ended as the hero for Luton Town as he used his chest to control a long pass between two defenders inside the box and then fired the ball past the goalkeeper to draw things level at 2-2. That's now two goals over the last three appearances for the forward, who will hope to be in contention for a starting spot in the upcoming games.

Chiedozie Ogbene - 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.

Thomas Kaminski - Logs six saves, allows two in draw Kaminski made six saves and conceded two goals during Saturday's 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Kaminski was beaten twice by Chris Wood during the second half but wasn't at fault for either goal. And if it wasn't for the several saves made by the goalkeeper throughout the contest, his side wouldn't have remained in contention to draw things level at stoppage time. Kaminski is still to keep a clean sheet this season, but it won't be so problematic if he's able to rack up enough saves to provide fantasy value as he did here.

Reece Burke - Picks up injury Saturday Burke was subbed off due to an undisclosed injury in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Burke left the game in the second half when the Hatters were down 1-0, but ultimately, the team managed to mount a comeback and secure a 2-2 draw. Burke will be assessed in the coming days to see whether he'll be available to face Aston Villa next Sunday.

Jordan Clark - Still training alone Clark (ankle) is still training individually on grass, according to manager Rob Edwards.

Impact Clark remains in individual training, as he continues to make his way back from a severe ankle injury. The midfielder played a major role in the Championship in 2022/23 so getting him back will be a priority in the midst of a tough relegation campaign. When Clark returns it's possible he could send Paul Ruddock Mpanzu back to the bench.

Gabriel Osho - Ready for return Osho (knee) is ready to go for Saturday's trip to Nottingham Forest, Luton announced.

Impact Osho is set to get back on the pitch for Saturday's clash. It's a major boon for the backline, especially coming on the same day Mads Juel Andersen (hamstring) was ruled out for multiple months. Amari'i Bell (hamstring) is also out for Saturday's match meaning Osho could even be called upon to move immediately into the starting XI.

OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Amari Bell - Nearing return Bell (hamstring) is nearing a return, manager Rob Edwards announced.

Impact Bell won't be ready for Saturday's trip to Nottingham Forest but is doing well and is reportedly quite close to a return. The first chance for Bell to get back on the pitch could be an Oct. 29 trip to Aston Villa, with an additional eight days to recover before that match. Teden Mengi will be set to continue in the starting XI with Mads Juel Andersen (hamstring) sidelined for the remainder of 2023.

OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mads Andersen - Out multiple months Andersen (hamstring) is set for multiple months on the sideline with a hamstring, according to manager Rob Edwards.

Impact Andersen won't appear again in 2023, ruling him out for at least two months. With this sort of muscular issue there's no definite timeline for a return so it's possible he could miss a portion of 2024 as well. Teden Mengi should be in line for a more significant role in the starting XI with Andersen recovering on the sideline.

Andros Townsend - Gets minutes with youth team Townsend scored and played 60 minutes in Tuesday's match with the U21s.

Impact Townsend joined Luton Town officially about one week ago and it's a good sign that he's already close to match fitness and getting minutes, even with the youth squad. It's unclear what role he'll have with Luton Town over the next few months, but some kind of bench role wouldn't be surprising given the early-season struggles for the Hatters attack.

OCTOBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Andros Townsend - Signs short-term deal Townsend agreed to terms on a short-term contract with Luton Town through January, the club announced Wednesday.

Impact Townsend missed the entirety of the 2022-23 season due to a long-term knee injury while under contract with Everton. In fact, the midfielder's last competitive match was March 17, 2022, nearly 19 months ago. Townsend did technically go 45 minutes in a U21 contest for Everton in May. Given his lengthy absence, Townsend was unable to secure a new landing spot this offseason but will look to rehabilitate his career with a short-term stay at Luton.

Gabriel Osho - Returns to training Osho (knee) was pictured in training over the October international break.

Impact Osho has been out since the summer with a knee injury, but it looks like he's edging closer and could be an option in the coming weeks. Having started 25 matches for the Hatters last season, he could immediately find a role given the lengthy injury list on the back line, though fitness is clearly a concern.

OCTOBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Alfie Doughty - Sends in thirteen crosses Doughty attempted 13 crosses (two accurate) and created two chances in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Tottenham.

Impact Doughty looked lively at both ends, coming close to an equaliser and winning three of his four tackles. Playing at left-back, he has created 20 chances during the last four game weeks, more than any other player in the Premier League.

OCTOBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Carlton Morris - Three shots in defeat Morris attempted three shots (one on target) and created one chance in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Tottenham.

Impact Morris has blanked in successive games, finding the target just once from seven attempts. The striker will be content with three goals at this stage of the season and will fancy his chances of geting on the scoresheet against Nottingham Forest after the international break.

OCTOBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Thomas Kaminski - Concedes once in narrow loss Kaminski conceded once and made three saves in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Tottenham.

Impact Kaminski made a brilliant save to stop a Dejan Kulusevski effort from finding the bottom corner. The keeper is still looking for his first clean sheet of the season, though Luton have looked more solid in defense of late. Having conceded 10 goals in his first four games, he has conceded only five in the four games since and next comes up against Nottingham Forrest.
