Luton midfielder expected to miss Saturday’s clash against Wolves

Barkley should return in time for Everton trip

Ross Barkley is expected to miss tomorrow’s Premier League match at Kenilworth Road against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The 29-year-old, who had started Town’s recent defeats against Chelsea and West Ham United, was not in the match-day squad at Craven Cottage on Saturday, when Luton Town lost 1-0 to Fulham.

Edwards revealed afterwards Barkley had suffered a hamstring injury, and despite being back on the grass at the Brache, will probably return for the trip to his former stomping ground at Goodison Park next week.

He said: “Ross trained today.

“It will probably be a bit soon for tomorrow, we’ll build him up towards the Everton game, but he trained fully today which is good.”

On whether there are any other injury doubts, the Luton boss added: “Everyone else came through the week and got through the Fulham game.

“There’s just a couple of the long term ones which we were aware of, so it’s how we were really.”
