Benson to work overtime to feature against Stevenage

The forward netted twice as Luton beat Gillingham 5-2 in a Development League cup clash on Tuesday afternoon, and although not completely up to speed, wants to feature.

He said: “As long as I get through the rest of the week, then I would like to be involved, but that’s a question for the gaffer.

“I need to work on a few things, Thursday, Friday to try and get a bit more extra running in.

“I want to do a little bit more extra to get to where I want to be as I don’t like playing in games where I don’t feel phyiscally at my best.”

Benson last played in the 2-0 defeat at Shrewsbury, as he has missed the last five games with a troublesome glute.

In his absence, Hatters have gone on a four game unbeaten run, winning three, and the striker believes they have adapted quickly to life in League Two.
