Edwards on Lockyer visit, team news and 'interest' in Hashioka
- Published
Rob Edwards has spoken to the media before Luton host Brighton in the Premier League on Tuesday.
Here are the main lines from his news conference:
Edwards said Tom Lockyer's visit to The Brache earlier "was a real special moment and it was great to see him." "I managed to hold it together, believe it or not. It has been a really difficult time for him and his family but it was great to see him."
On how Lockyer is coping: "He has an unbelievable handle over all of it. I wouldn't be able to handle it. He's such an impressive person. There's a rehabilitation process to go through now but he's taking it slowly. He's got a baby on the way and it's really exciting for him. Understandably so, that's his focus now."
Edwards confirmed Gabe Osho is available to play and so is Cauley Woodrow despite breaking his hand in Saturday's FA Cup game against Everton.
Meanwhile, winger Jordan Clark will return to the matchday squad after serving his suspension but Jacob Brown remains sidelined with a bruised knee.
On the potential arrival of Japan international full-back Daiki Hashioka: "He's a player that we like. Nothing has been agreed yet and I want to respect the process but he's a player we like and there's an interest there."
