Luton Town have confirmed that midfielder Jordan Clark was allowed to return home last night following his nasty head injury suffered in the 3-2 defeat at West Bromwich Albion.

The 27-year-old required lengthy treatment after a sickening collision with Baggies goalkeeper Sam Johnstone early in the second half which saw him stretchered off.
