Luton boss on possible Nakamba replacement

LUTON Town manager Rob Edwards has admitted the team misses the services of midfielder Marvellous Nakamba who is set for a lengthy period on the sidelines.

The Zimbabwe international midfielder recently underwent surgery on his knee.

Although, Edwards says he is not under pressure to get a player to fill Nakamba’s gap, he said the midfielder makes unique contributions to the team.

“We’ve got good options still there, Ross (Barkley) and Sambi have been playing well now for the last few games, we’ve still got Jordan Clark, Pelly (Mpanzu), Luke Berry as well, really good options who can come in and provide good competition.

“We do miss Marv, he does give us something really different and something that’s unique in that position. I’ll say it again, we have the scope to improve the group and we’ll get that if we think there’s someone who can really help us and make us better. If that isn’t achievable for us then I love what we’ve got here in the building right now, I’m more than happy to go with what we have,” said Edwards.
