Elijah Adebayo - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Scores 10 in first PL season Adebayo scored 10 goals on 31 shots (14 on target) in 27 appearances (16 starts) this past season.

Impact Despite starting less than half of his side's matches, Adebayo ranked second on the team with 10 goals, only behind Carlton Morris' 11. He scored against the likes of Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle, not to mention a hat trick versus Brighton on Jan. 30. He missed 11 games with a hamstring injury, a stretch where his side was unable to win a single game which ultimately led to relegation. After a productive season it would not be surprising to see the 26-year-old snatched up by a Premier League club, but he could still return to Luton to fight for promotion.

Gets 12 minutes of play Adebayo (hamstring) appeared for 12 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Wolves.

Impact Adebayo made his return to play Saturday, ending a lengthy 11-match absence due to a hamstring issue. He wasn't given much time, as he only appeared for 12 minutes, likely only on the field to test his legs after his extended period on the sidelines. He will now look to get back in the starting XI, as he gained the start in eight straight games before encountering his issues.

Closer to return Adebayo (hamstring) is out for Saturday's trip to Wolves but is nearing a return, according to manager Rob Edwards. "Eli's getting closer but tomorrow will be too soon."

Impact Adebayo suffered a significant setback with his recovery in March and was put in doubt for a return before the end of the season. It now appears he will return in the final three matches, though it's not clear if he will be ready for any sort of significant role.

Impact This is certainly a tough scenario for Adebayo, who hasn't played since Feb. 10, and it seems the earliest he might return, assuming there are no setbacks and his recovery goes smooth, would be against Arsenal on April 3. Adebayo has been productive this season for the Hatters, bagging nine goals across 23 appearances (13 starts) in league play.

Will remain out Adebayo (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's match against Bournemouth, the club confirmed.

Impact Adebayo is still going to have to wait on a return, now missing his fifth straight match due to a hamstring issue. There was a slight chance he could be available for this match last week, but after testing, it appears he was not yet ready, looking to get back on the team sheet in the club's next contest. With that being said, he will now eye a return Saturday against Nottingham Forest, which seems to be somewhat likely, with Carlton Morris starting in Adebayo's place once again Wednesday.

Impact Adebayo has been nearing a return for multiple weeks and it seems he's stuck at the last hurdle here. There's no guarantee when he will be back but Adebayo will have two chances to return before the March international break. His first chance is a mid-week trip to Bournemouth on Wednesday.

Impact Adebayo will be held out for the club's second straight match after missing the contest against Manchester United on Sunday. This will heavily affect the club, being without one of their top goal scorers and their main striker against the league leaders. With him out, expect Cauley Woodrow to possibly get the start again or for Carlton Morris to move to striker despite normally serving as an attacking midfielder.

Impact Adebayo has attempted only 11 shots this season, and only four of them were on goal. Yet, all four were goals, including his latest one Sunday. Adebayo has scored in back-to-back appearances, which should make it difficult for him to be dropped as Luton Town's team prepares for an away game Saturday at Bournemouth.
