Hatters shock at Davis return

Luton Town defender Sol Davis could be back in first-team action over the festive period - just two months after suffering a stroke.
The 27-year-old was taken ill on the team coach heading to an away match in late October but made his comeback in a reserve team match last week.
Hatters boss Mike Newell has admitted his amazement that Davis has bounced back so soon and revealed the defender could be recalled to the first-team in the coming weeks.
"We haven't been told by the specialists to put the reins on Sol, so I don't see why he can't be back for the Christmas period, which would be phenomenal," said Newell.
"If I had been asked six weeks ago, I wouldn't have put any money on Sol coming back this season.
"It has been a massive shock and a surprise to us all that Sol is back."
