John Still: 'Paul Benson could return in six weeks'

Still: 'Benson could return in six weeks'

Luton Town manager John Still is hopeful that striker Paul Benson could return to action before the end of January.

Benson broke his leg during Luton's 3-0 victory over Mansfield Town last weekend, but after describing the fracture as "being in the right place", Still is confident that the forward won't spend a prolonged period on the sidelines.

Still told BBC Counties Radio: "Any fracture or break is disappointing. But if he had to have a fracture, it's in the right place.

"If all went well with him, I think we're looking at six weeks."

The 35-year-old has netted twice in 16 appearances for the Hatters this season.
