Zimbabwe’s Harare On Wednesday, August 6, 2025, Zimbabwean midfielder Marvellous Nakamba made his competitive comeback, albeit not with Luton Town’s main team. Rather, Nakamba made his competitive football comeback after a few months away by playing for the team’s U-21 team in a friendly match against Leyton Orient.
Nakamba was conspicuously absent from all of Luton’s preseason friendlies and had previously been training apart from the main group. Additionally, he was absent from last week’s League One season opener against AFC Wimbledon.

Matt Bloomfield, the manager of Luton, responded to the circulating rumours by admitting that other clubs had expressed interest in Nakamba because of his Premier League background. He emphasised, though, that although the club is open to proposals, it is not in a rush to split up unless the terms are advantageous. He said:
“Marv has played a great role for our football team. Having played in the Premier League two seasons prior, he has garnered attention. We will talk about it at the appropriate time if Marv wants to accept the offer if we receive a good one.
As the season goes on, Nakamba’s status remains unclear because no official bids have emerged.
