Luton Town’s Izzy Brown is a doubt to face Leeds United this weekend.
Saturday’s hosts come into the match against the Whites on Saturday in poor form, having lost their last four matches and manager Graeme Jones might have to contend with the absence of one of his key players.
Chelsea loanee Izzy Brown has been a revelation operating in the number ten role for Luton this season, with five assists in his last seven appearances. But he missed their last game, a 3-0 defeat to Reading before the international break.
The 22-year-old spent last season at Elland Road, but made just two short cameo appearances for the Whites in the Championship as he recovered from a serious torn cruciate ligament injury.
He’s looked back to full fitness this season, but he pulled up with a hamstring problem against Nottingham Forest three weeks ago, and is a major doubt to return for his club here.
James Collins, their joint top scorer with five goals so far this season, was an unused substitute for the Republic Of Ireland in the week, as Mick McCarthy’s side could only draw 1-1 with Denmark, failing to secure qualification for Euro 2020.
The former Crawley striker fired Luton to promotion from League One last season with 25 goals, but he was moved back in the defeat to Reading, playing behind a front two of Callum McMamanan and Harry Cornick.
30-year-old forward Danny Hylton, who has yet to play a Championship minute this season, is their only other injury concern.
