Ogbene ruled out for 'few weeks'
Chiedozie Ogbene will be unavailable to Luton Town for a “few weeks” after damaging his tendon during Ireland’s scoreless draw against Belgium last Saturday.
The Corkman was withdrawn from the international duty ahead of the second part of the double-header against Switzerland on Tuesday.
His Hatters boss Rob Edwards confirmed his absence from Saturday’s trip to Tottenham Hotspur as they bid to defy the critics by avoiding the drop in their first top-flight season since the Premier League began in 1992.
"He felt his hamstring, which turned out to be the tendon,” Edwards said of his flying winger.
“He reported it, I think, at half-time he was feeling aware. Then he came off going into the second half. He tried training a couple of days later, but unfortunately there's something there.
"We got him back as soon as we could. He came out of the training session, we scanned him and we'll see how he reacts now. It's probably going to be a few weeks. That's just how it's going at the moment. That's a blow for us, clearly."
