Luton boss Edwards frustrated losing Arsenal loanee Lokonga

Luton Town manager Rob Edwards admits the absence of Albert Sambi Lokonga will hurt his team.

The Arsenal loanee will be absent for around two months with a hamstring injury.

The 23-year-old sustained the problem in the 1-1 draw with Wolves in the Premier League at the weekend.

Speaking with reporters, Edwards said: “Sambi made a real positive start to his life at Luton Town, two real good performances so it's a real shame for him first and foremost as he wanted to come and perform, play games.

“He was going to have the opportunity to do that with us and it's a real shame to be missing him now for a period of time.

“It could be a while, we'll have to see.

"We're disappointed for him as he made a great start and he's a really good player.
