Matt Bloomfield will welcome back Lamine Fanne to the Hatters squad for Saturday’s trip to Sheffield Wednesday but remained coy on whether this week’s three signings will be involved from the start at Hillsborough.

An ankle knock has kept the midfielder Fanne out of all three of Bloomfield’s games so far but has trained this week and will travel north for the Championship meeting with the Owls.

Kal Naismith, Thelo Aasgaard and Millenic Alli all joined the Hatters this week, and when asked whether the trio will play apart against Wednesday, the boss laughed and replied “maybe”.

In other squad news, Bloomfield confirmed Tahith Chong is not quite ready for a return as he continues his recovery from a hamstring injury.

Another player unavailable will be club captain Tom Lockyer who has suffered another setback in his bid to return to first team football

“I’ve not got an exact timescale but we’ll support Tom all we can,” added Bloomfield. “He’s a leader and been a massive miss for this club.

“He’s still been playing a part around the place since I’ve come in and I’m looking forward to to welcoming him back when time allows.”
