Ineligible Sudnay Kabore is ineligible to play against his parent club and is out for Sunday's clash with Manchester City.

Impact Kabore isn't an option while on loan from Manchester City so he will miss Sunday's match. Alfie Doughty got the start at right wing-back the last time Kabore was ruled out, and he could be in line for that role again in a brutally difficult match against City.

DECEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting after one match out Kabore (concussion) is in the starting XI to face Brentford on Saturday.

Impact Kabore returns from a concussion which kept him out of last week's match against Crystal Palace. The wing-back takes up his usual role on the right flank having provided one assist while creating nine chances and crossing 30 times in 12 appearances.

Impact There are very few details regarding the kind of injury Kabore had. Still, if the issue was severe enough to remove him from the game, then Luton should be worried about his potential availability for the match against Crystal Palace on Nov. 25 when the Premier League results. Kabore has appeared in all but one game for the Hatters this season and has predominantly played as a right wing-back.

NOVEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Assists in surprise draw Kabore assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Liverpool.

Impact Kabore wasn't likely to play a major role as heavy underdogs to Liverpool, but he made the most of his chances and came away with the assist Sunday. It's hard to predict any sort of offensive production going forward, but this assist is Kabore's first in the Premier League and comes on his seventh chance created at right wing-back.

NOVEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Normal starter this season Kabore generated one shot (zero on goal) and three crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton.

Impact Kabore has been decent thus far for Luton Town, earning a start in four of their five matches this year. The 22-year-old is getting regular time this season after being a rotational option for Marseille last year and is excelling in his role as their right wing-back, despite Luton only earning one point and allowing a goal in every game this season. His production has been decent for a Luton Town player in terms of fantasy as well, registering four shots, four chances created, six crosses and eight tackles.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Joins Luton on loan Kabore joined Luton Town on season-long loan from Manchester City after returning from a loan to Marseille.

Impact Kabore failed to break into the starting XI with Marseille and will now spend another season on loan, this time in the Premier League. The wing-back totaled one goal and no assists in 22 appearances (nine starts) in Ligue 1 during the 2022-23 appearance.

JULY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nets first goal of season Kabore scored on his lone shot and added two crosses (none accurate), two tackles (both won) and two interceptions in Saturday's 2-2 draw to Strasbourg.

Impact Kabore nets his first goal and first major offensive contribution of the season while also adding other offensive numbers too. That was his first start in last five matches and merely fourth on the season though and until he carves himself out a more prominent role his value will remain limited in long-term fantasy formats.

OCTOBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sends seven crosses in shutout win Kabore held a clean sheet and added two shots (one won), seven crosses (two accurate) and four tackles (three won) in Friday's 3-0 win over Angers.

Impact Kabore and the Marseille back line finally held first clean sheet in last five matches but they also held four in last eight affairs. The full-back has now held a clean sheet in each of his starts but with just two starts all season he's hard to rely on in long-term formats.
