Luton boss Rob Edwards is well aware that he needs to bolster his defensive options going into the new Championship season that kicks off next Monday evening.
The Hatters suffered massively with injuries to their centre halves last term, with Mads Andersen barely featuring in the Premier League campaign, while the now released Dan Potts didn’t play a single minute of top flight football. Jamaican international Amari’i Bell was out for a lengthy period of time
as well with a serious hamstring injury, with Teden Mengi and Gabe Osho, another who has since left, also both having spells on the sidelines.
Bell, Andersen and Burke are all expected to be missing when Town host Burnley in a weeks time, while Mengi went off in Saturday’s 3-1 pre-season friendly draw against Celta Vigo at Kenilworth Road, leaving Luton with just two fit centre halves, Tom Holmes, who is at least experienced in the Championship having featured over 100 times for Reading previously, and teenager Joe Johnson, with just two substitute outings to his name.
