Wells opts out of Bermuda Squad to Focus on Promotion
|
Luton Town striker Nahki Wells has made the decision to step aside from international duty with Bermuda 🇧🇲 for the upcoming international window, choosing instead to prioritise his fitness and focus on the Hatters' push for League One promotion.
The 36-year-old forward travelled overseas last month to represent his country, earning his 31st and 32nd international caps in heavy Concacaf Nations League defeats against Saint Lucia and Barbados.
With John Barry Nusum's side preparing for reverse fixtures against Guadeloupe and Saint Lucia next week, the national team had hoped to call upon their talisman to spearhead the attack once again. However, Wells will not be joining up with the squad.
The former Bradford City and Bristol City marksman has shouldered a substantial workload at Kenilworth Road this campaign. Having been forced off with a knock during the first half against Doncaster Rovers late last month, Wells began on the bench for Luton’s 2-0 win over Peterborough United before returning to play 85 minutes in Tuesday's hard-fought 1-1 draw against former club Huddersfield Town.
Wells has been instrumental in Luton's campaign, scoring eight goals in 16 appearances and logging 870 minutes on the pitch. With the Hatters sitting fourth in League One and firmly in the hunt to regain their place in the Championship, keeping the veteran fit and fresh remains central to their promotion ambitions.

Trott Sensational Stoppage-Time Save in Six-Goal Thriller
|
Bermudian goalkeeper Nathan Trott produced a sensational stoppage-time save to preserve Cardiff City's unbeaten home record as the Bluebirds were held to a breathless 3-3 draw by West Ham United.
A classic tale of two halves at Cardiff City Stadium saw Jack Moylan net a sublime first-half hat-trick to give the hosts complete command, only for Scott Parker’s side to stage a relentless three-goal second-half fightback.
The visitors almost struck first when Valentín Castellanos poked towards goal from close range, but Trott scrambled across brilliantly to deny the forward.
Cardiff capitalized immediately on the counter. West Ham backed off on the edge of the area and Moylan needed no second invitation, rifling a venomous strike into the top corner after 11 minutes.
Moylan was irresistible. Just after Will Fish headed over, the Irish forward timed his run behind the Hammers' backline to perfection, drawing a foul inside the box to win a penalty. He dusted himself down and calmly sent Mads Hermansen the wrong way for his eighth league goal of the campaign.
The hat-trick arrived minutes before the interval. Moylan met an inswinging corner with a glancing header that flew into the net to make it 3-0, capping a dream opening 45 minutes for the Bluebirds.
Parker rang the changes at half-time, introducing a triple substitution that completely altered the momentum.
West Ham pulled one back in the 58th minute when Jarrod Bowen threaded a clever pass into the box for Divine Mukasa to chip in off the post.
The Hammers struck again in nearly identical fashion shortly after, with Bowen turning provider once more to loft a pass over the defence for Arne Engels to slot coolly past Trott.
Bowen then forced a fine reflex stop from Trott, but the pressure finally told with 10 minutes remaining. Bowen whipped in another pinpoint delivery and Max Kilman rose highest to bundle home the equaliser.
West Ham pushed relentlessly for a late winner during six minutes of stoppage time and looked certain to take all three points when Tomáš Souček steered a header toward the bottom corner.
However, former West Ham goalkeeper Trott saved his finest moment for the dying seconds against his old club, springing across to tip the ball around the post with his fingertips to ensure Cardiff took a deserved share of the spoils.

Wells & Luton Points Shared with League Leaders
|
Nahki Wells and his Luton Town team-mates were denied a fifth consecutive league victory but came away from the John Smith’s Stadium with a thoroughly deserved point against leaders Huddersfield Town.
In a compelling clash between two of the division's in-form outfits, the Hatters went into the break with the advantage after Jordan Clark clinically tucked away his sixth goal of the campaign on the stroke of half-time.
Huddersfield, who entered the contest defending an unbeaten home record this season, issued an immediate response after the interval. Just three minutes into the second period, former Luton forward Joe Taylor came back to haunt his old club, meeting a cross on the full to volley past James Shea.
The contest opened up as both sides pushed for a decisive breakthrough. Wells, returning to face his former employers, came agonisingly close to securing all three points with 13 minutes remaining, rising well in the box only to steer his header marginally over the crossbar.
Luton manager Jack Wilshere showed his attacking intent in the closing stages, introducing a late triple substitution with five minutes remaining in an attempt to snatch victory, but the home side held firm to ensure the spoils were shared.
