Andros Townsend - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Fairly quiet season with Luton Townsend scored one goal and recorded three assists in 27 appearances (14 starts) this past season.

Impact Townsend recorded four goal contributions in his first season with Luton, his second worst Premier League campaign since the 2013-2014 season. He got off to a decent start, starting eight of the first 11 matches and recorded a goal contribution in three consecutive matches in December. He then started just five of the last 18 matches, recording just one assist over that span. The 32-year-old is under contract until 2026 but may try to make a move to a club staying in the Premier League, a competition he has played in since 2012.

Records assist again Townsend assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Manchester City.

Impact Townsend may have logged only one accurate cross, but it was all he needed to log an assist for a goal scored by Elijah Adebayo. Now with assists in back-to-back games, he seems to have found his rhythm following his short-term signing with Luton Town. It is at least a little promising that Townsend was able to equal his 2021-22 assist tally in 13 fewer appearances.

Tallies first assist Townsend assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 4-3 loss against Arsenal.

Impact Townsend picked up his first assist of the season, in what marked his fourth start in only seven appearances. He is also now up to a total of 60 completed passes and four chances created on the season.

Takes three shots versus Man Utd Townsend had three shots (one on target) and made three tackles (all won) and two interceptions during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Manchester United.

Impact Townsend made his second consecutive start and once again played for around an hour but this time results were much better than the ones from the previous match as he was one of Luton's biggest threats up front while also providing a lot of defensive help when required. Talent is still there and we can start to see even better displays (and numbers) once Townsend makes his way back to his best conditioning after being sidelined for one and a half year.

Gets minutes with youth team Townsend scored and played 60 minutes in Tuesday's match with the U21s.

Impact Townsend joined Luton Town officially about one week ago and it's a good sign that he's already close to match fitness and getting minutes, even with the youth squad. It's unclear what role he'll have with Luton Town over the next few months, but some kind of bench role wouldn't be surprising given the early-season struggles for the Hatters attack.

Signs short-term deal Townsend agreed to terms on a short-term contract with Luton Town through January, the club announced Wednesday.

Impact Townsend missed the entirety of the 2022-23 season due to a long-term knee injury while under contract with Everton. In fact, the midfielder's last competitive match was March 17, 2022, nearly 19 months ago. Townsend did technically go 45 minutes in a U21 contest for Everton in May. Given his lengthy absence, Townsend was unable to secure a new landing spot this offseason but will look to rehabilitate his career with a short-term stay at Luton.

OCTOBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Training with squad Townsend (knee) completed first-team training Friday with the senior squad after having gone 45 minutes with the U21 side.

Impact Townsend will no doubt be eager to get onto the pitch before the end of Everton's season, having last appeared for the club March 17, 2022 against Newcastle. At this point, Townsend is unlikely to break into the starting XI, especially with the Toffees mired in a relegation battle, but could see some opportunities to come off the bench if given the all-clear.

Still working on fitness Townsend (knee) continues to work on fitness, according to manager Sean Dyche. "He's had his ups and downs, but he seems to be in a better place with his injury and how that's goin...

Impact The updates from Dyche on Townsend aren't too different every week and that's not usually a good thing. There's a chance he won't be ready this season with the goal possibly being to return to full health and fitness over the summer. Townsend has been working the past few months, but it seems like a December setback halted the possibility of a quicker return.

APRIL 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back on grass Townsend (knee) has "positive signs" and is "back on the grass" in his recovery, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact It sounds like Townsend is another month away from any possible minutes, though he'll still need to get back in training. From there, he'll need to work on fitness, as he's yet to feature in the past year. Given his time out, there's a chance he may not be ready this season if the recovery in training doesn't go to plan.

Still needs time to recover Townsend (knee) is beginning to get stronger, according to Everton manager Sean Dyche Thursday, but "he's not there yet."

Impact Townsend is continuing his rehabilitation from a torn ACL he suffered last March, and while he's making progress, there's still no clear timetable about when he could be able to return.

Pictured at training Townsend (knee) has begun individual training on the pitch Thursday.

Impact Townsend has been out of action since March 17, 2022 against Newcastle United due to his long-term knee problem. There was some thought the midfielder could be ready to play coming out of the World Cup but suffered a setback in his recovery that has kept him sidelined even longer. Given his lengthy absence, Townsend should be expected to make several appearances off the bench before he would be in contention to compete for a spot in the starting XI, something that's far from a lock for Townsend.

JANUARY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers setback in recovery Townsend sustained "a bit of a setback, so he's not going to be ready for these next batch of games," per coach Frank Lampard.

Impact Townsend has been out since March with a torn ACL and was expected to be a possibility to return on Boxing Day. Considering this most recent update however, he will now likely miss all of December and most of January.

Unlikely before World Cup Townsend is pushing for a return, but it's unlikely to come before the World Cup, he recently revealed to talkSPORT. "Let's see how things progress because if I am feeling right I...

Impact Townsend has been out since March with a torn ACL and there's no reason for him to push a return for only a couple matches before the World Cup break. If he waits, he'll get an extra month of training in and then if all goes well, he'll be an option come Boxing Day.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Remains without timeline Townsend (knee) is still without a clear timeline to get back onto the pitch for Everton.

Impact While the club was able to provide specifics regarding estimated returns for Mason Holgate (knee) and Yerry Mina (ankle), Townsend is still considered out indefinitely at this point. Given a 6-9 month general recovery period for ACL surgeries, fantasy players should probably anticipate Townsend won't be back until after the World Cup break. Even once fit, Townsend could struggle to secure regular minutes over the likes of Anthony Gordon, Neal Maupay or Demarai Gray.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Continues rehabbing injury Townsend (knee) traveled with Everton for its United States trip as he works his way back from injury.

Impact Townsend had surgery to repair his ACL injury back in March, so a return to the pitch for Week 1 is probably a little early given a 6-9 month recovery timeline. Still, the club hasn't provided any specifics on Townsend's timeline. Whenever the attacking midfielder is given the all-clear, he should be a near-lock for the starting XI, especially following the departure of Richarlison.

Suffers ACL injury, out for season Townsend will miss the rest of the season after suffering an ACL injury in Sunday's FA Cup match.

Impact Townsend will undergo surgery next week and spend most of the summer rehabbing his knee. This isn't labeled as a torn ACL, but he's in a race to be fit for the start of next season, as that's about five months away. ACL injuries usually take six months at a minimum, depending on the type of surgery. It's a tough blow for Townsend, who finishes with three goals and two assists in 21 appearances (17 starts), all of those coming in the first seven matches of the season.

MARCH 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Likely out for extended period Townsend will likely miss an extended period after suffering a knee injury in Sunday's FA Cup match, according to manager Frank Lampard. "I don't think it will be weeks out, I thin...

Impact It's a tough break for Townsend, who has struggled to find a role under Frank Lampard after returning from a foot injury a couple months ago. He opened the campaign in fine form and has three goals with two assists for the season, but he only has two starts since mid-December.
