Three tackles in first league start Luis had one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win against Fulham.

Impact Luis earned his first league start for Ipswich against Fulham, with Exequiel Palacios starting on the bench in a decision that was likely down to his long trip back from international duty. The defensive midfielder did his job without the ball and finished with three tackles, two interceptions and one clearance before Palacios came on for him shortly after the hour. He may have to share minutes with Palacios going forward as the two compete for a place in the side.

Available for Ipswich debut Luis (undisclosed) is available for Friday's Premier League clash against Liverpool after returning to full training this week, according to coach Gary O'Neil.

Impact Luis is finally ready to enter the fold after missing Ipswich's opening two league matches with an undisclosed issue. The midfielder has trained throughout the week and could make his club debut against Liverpool, though it remains to be seen whether manager Gary O'Neil will immediately hand him a starting role or ease him back from the bench. With Azor Matusiwa still unavailable, Luis' return provides a timely boost to Ipswich's options in central midfield.

SEPTEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Left out against Manchester United Luis (undisclosed) is not included in Ipswich Town's matchday squad for Sunday's clash against Manchester United.

Impact Luis remains unavailable after also missing the season opener against Sunderland, despite manager Gary O'Neil previously expressing hope that the midfielder could return Sunday.

The exact nature of Luis' issue and a potential return date remain unclear, with further updates expected as he continues working toward his season debut.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Could return against Man United Luis (undisclosed) could return to the squad for Sunday's Premier League clash against Manchester United, according to coach Gary O'Neil. "We're hoping Florentino might be back."

Impact Luis missed the season opener against Sunderland despite previously appearing on track to be available, but he now has a chance to make his season debut Sunday. His availability remains uncertain rather than confirmed, with Ipswich hoping he can recover in time for Manchester United. The potential return would strengthen a depleted midfield with Azor Matusiwa and Jack Taylor ruled out, though new signing Exequiel Palacios is also expected to be involved.

AUGUST 28 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Despite optimism from Gary O'Neil that Luis was fit and would be involved, he has been left out of the squad after missing the last friendly.

His next realistic chance to feature will be Sunday's match against Manchester United.

AUGUST 22 • ROTOWIRE

AUGUST 21 • ROTOWIRE

Missing from squad, cause unclear Luis (undisclosed) is absent from Ipswich's squad for Saturday's final friendly against Union Berlin, with the reason not yet disclosed, just one week before the Premier League sea...

Impact Luis joined Ipswich this summer from Burnley following the club's relegation to the Championship, signing a five year deal after a mediocre campaign in which he started 25 of 31 appearances without a goal and just two assists. His absence from this final tune up is worth monitoring given how close the season opener is, and further clarity on the reason should emerge from the club in the coming days.

AUGUST 15 • ROTOWIRE

Signs with Ipswich Luis has completed a transfer to Ipswich Town from Burnley, according to his new club.

Impact Luis is on his way back to the Premier League following Burnley's demotion back to the Championship, as he signs with newly promoted Ipswich. He is coming off a mediocre season last campaign, starting in 25 of his 31 appearances, but only earning two assists and no goals. He signed a five-year deal with his new club, so he could be around the club for years to come, hoping he can help them keep their status in the Premier League more than he did with the Clarets.

Assists for draw Florentino Luis assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Liverpool.

Impact Luis created a single chance, but that chance proved to be crucial as Marcus Edwards found the back of the net. Luis is a defensively-minded midfielder, so this isn't likely the start of a major goal-contributing run. Still it's a nice boon in a tough trip to Anfield against a stingy Liverpool side.

JANUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

First Burnley goal contribution Florentino Luis assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 win against Leeds United.

Impact Florentino Luis's pass setup the space for the second Burnley goal as they outlasted Leeds United in a 2-0 home victory.

Signs with Burnley on loan Luis has been loaned to Burnley from Benfica, according to his new club.

Impact Luis is seeing a major move in his career as he joins the Premier League on loan for a season, heading to Turf Moor with Burnley. The 26-year-old has plenty of experience, serving in UCL and Europa League while holding a starting spot with Benfica for a few seasons now, a workhorse in the midfield during his career. He will likely push for starting time with Burnley soon after joining and will hope to make a good impression, as the club does hold the option to make the deal permanent.

On bench in season finale Luis was an unused substitute in last weekend's 3-1 defeat against Elche.

Impact Luis made 22 La Liga appearances (nine starts) while on-loan this season for Getafe, and he assisted a goal against Cadiz in November.

JUNE 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starts in draw Luis won one tackle in 71 minutes of Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Osasuna.

Impact Luis has started just four times in 2022 but two have come in the last four matches. Still, his value is hardly noticeable with three tackles won over the last four matches, so it will take more time for him to prove he can be reliable. Up next is a visit from Barcelona.

MAY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Assists as substitute Luis assisted one goal from his only chance created in 25 minutes during Sunday's 4-0 win over Cadiz.

NOVEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Makes nine tackles in loss Luis created two chances and made nine tackles (six won) and three interceptions during Sunday's 2-0 loss against Betis.

Impact Luis had his most impressive outing since joining Getafe, showing a lot of tenacity in the middle of the park and having his best marks in both tackles and interceptions. The midfielder is showing that he can perform at a high level against top La Liga players and he'll probably remain in the starting XI for the upcoming matches, including next Sunday's clash against Real Sociedad.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Thrives in start Luis made four tackles and two interceptions during Tuesday's 2-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid.

Impact Luis has the full confidence of his manager and it showed Tuesday, as the midfielder put together a solid performance in his first start. Luis has yet to add a goal contribution in a major league, and until he does so he remains a low-ceiling option. Next up is a Sunday trip away to Betis.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Gelling well with new team Luis is adapting very quickly to his new team, according to manager Michel Gonzalez.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Loaned to Getafe Luis has joined Getafe on loan for the season from Portuguese side Benfica.
