On bench to face Luton Benson (undisclosed) is on the bench for Friday's match against Luton Town.

Impact Benson is back in the mix for Burnley, ending a three-match absence due to an undisclosed injury. He is only holding a bench role against Luton, but he should be expected to continue in that role moving forward, as he has only started once in four appearances, totaling 73 minutes of play across that span. However, he has dealt with multiple injuries this season, so he could shape out a spot for himself to get regular minutes if he strings together some great performances.
