Luton Town assistant coach Paul Trollope said that they will assess Marvelous Nakamba’s fitness to ascertain his physical condition.
Nakamba joined the English Championship club from Aston Villa on a six-month loan deal until the end of the season after struggling to get game time at Villa Park.
Nakamba is yet to play a single minute in a competitive game since the start of the 2022/23 season.
Speaking to reporters ahead of Saturday’s league game against Stoke City, Trollope said:
We’re pleased to have him, he’s going to make a big impact.
Physically, we’ll have to assess him in the short term to make sure his game exposure is right so that he plays a really big part for the rest of the season.
He is obviously a good level player, with Premier League experience, you can see he’s fitted straight into the group.
He’s a really good character which I think fits in with the group very well.
It’s pretty obvious to see his game time over the last year, 18 months, was not what he wanted to be so we’re going to have to manage him well but we’ve brought.
Luton are currently fourth on the Championship log standings and trail leaders Burnley by 17 points.
