Luton Town winger Gideon Kodua has been ruled out "until the new year" after suffering a hamstring injury.

The 22-year-old was taken off just before the half-hour mark of Saturday's EFL Trophy draw at Colchester after sustaining the injury.

The League One club said, external scans showed the former West Ham youngster, who joined on a permanent deal in the summer following a loan spell in 2025-26, would require surgery.

Kodua has 59 appearances in all competitions for the Hatters, scoring 12 goals.

Luton Town attacking midfielder Jayden Luker has signed a new contract of undisclosed length to extend his stay at Kenilworth Road.

The 21-year-old, who spent last season on loan at Notts County, made his first-team debut in August's EFL Cup win at Gillingham, providing an assist in a 3-0 win.

During his time with Notts, Luker helped them win promotion from League Two through the play-offs.

In this week's edition of The Football Interview, Kelly Somers meets Luton Town manager Jack Wilshere.

They speak about the 34-year-old's years at Arsenal and his journey into coaching, which has taken him to Kenilworth Road and which he describes as a "full-circle moment".

They also discuss why he did not sign for Luton as a player under Nathan Jones, his relationship with Gunners boss Mikel Arteta and how Jack's own children have begun their own footballing journey.
