The Hatters will welcome back Liam Walsh to the squad after serving his three-match suspension for Saturday’s trip to Coventry.

The midfielder was sent-off in the 2-2 draw with Oxford last month and will be in contention for a place in the side for the clash against the Sky Blues.

Rob Edwards says Walsh is likely to be the only addition to the squad with the manager confirming it is unlikely any of the players carrying knocks will be available.

Shandon Baptiste, Reece Burke, Amari’i Bell, Teden Mengi and Mads Andersen remain on the comeback trail in their returns.

“We’ve got a good squad and we’re going to need it,” Edwards said at his pre-match press conference on Friday.

“We’ve got lots of strength in depth and I’m sure we’re going to get stronger as the season goes on.”

The Hatters go into the game off the back of two strong performances at Kenilworth Road this week and the boss is hoping for more.

“There’s been a real energy and vibe around the place these last two weeks,” he said. “We’ll concentrate on ourselves.

“The boys have delivered two very good performances and the challenge now is to go and reproduce that and I’ll back them do it.

“Now we’ve got to go and take that to Coventry.”
