Luton Town vs Southend United - Luton’s McCormack not fit to face former club Southend
Posted Tuesday, August 21, 2018 by PA
Luton midfielder Alan McCormack has been ruled out of the Sky Bet League One game against former club Southend.
The experienced Irishman suffered a calf injury against Peterborough at the weekend, with Glen Rea, who replaced him at London Road, ready to deputise.
Midfielder Luke Berry is edging closer to a return to regular action following a dislocated ankle and a fractured fibula but needs time to regain fitness.
Hatters manager Nathan Jones has no other selection concerns.
Southend boss Chris Powell could name an unchanged team after picking up a first win of the season on Saturday.
Forward Tom Hopper should keep his place after scoring in the 2-0 victory over Bradford.
Midfielder Sam Barratt is out for the foreseeable future with a knee injury, while Luke Hyam (hamstring) and Harry Lennon (broken toe) are unlikely to return.
Midfielders Shawn McCoulsky and Michael Klass plus striker Theo Robinson are hoping for recalls after being dropped to the bench against the Bantams.
