Muskwe is left out in the 2-1 loss
Admiral Muskwe, a striker for Luton, was forced to sit out his home debut for Exeter City at the weekend due to a hamstring injury he sustained after joining the League One team.
On the day of the transfer deadline, the 25-year-old moved to St James Park on a season-long loan after manager Rob Edwards told the Luton News that he would quit the team this year.
Muskwe, who came off the bench in the Devon club’s 1-0 victory against Burton Albion last weekend, had hoped to get the start and take the place of leading scorer Sam Nombe, who was bought by Championship team Rotherham United for a club-record sum.

Fifth goal for Luton striker in seven games
Joe Taylor, a striker for Town, scored his sixth goal for Colchester United on Saturday, and U’s manager Ben Garner acknowledged that Taylor is ‘learning very rapidly’ about refereeing standards while on loan at the League Two club.
At the start of the season, the 20-year-old relocated to the JobServe Community Stadium because Luton manager Rob Edwards wanted him to gain some much-needed first team action.
He has done that as well, starting each of the U’s six fourth-tier games as well as their Carabao Cup match against Cardiff City. However, he was recently brought off against Gillingham and Walsall midway through the second half after receiving a booking, and Garner replaced him before he was sent off.
We don’t want to diminish Joe’s passion and love for the game, the United boss said the Colchester Gazette of a player who had made just one senior start previous to arriving.
“It’s just a little education, really.”We’re all adjusting to it a little bit, but he’s had to get acclimated to the officiating at this level, how that works, and some of the new rules.
“In the previous two games, it has gotten to the point where a red card was a possibility, and he has had to be hauled off for his own safety.
Joe is constantly learning. He hasn’t played much senior football, but he will pick it up very soon.
He has demonstrated his abilities for us, so all we need to do is be patient and continue working with him.
“I believe he is a very strong signing and will do well for us, but it is our responsibility to simultaneously educate and develop him,” said the manager.
At the weekend, Taylor and latest recruit, former Luton midfielder Cameron McGeehan, began against Tranmere Rovers. Taylor was able to avoid trouble.
After only 11 minutes, he gave his team the lead when another ex-Hatter, Arthur Read, sent him clear through and he finished impudently to beat Luke McGee.
McGee stopped the forward from gaining a second.
