Hatters ready for European hopefuls

He said: “That really will be a tough game. They’ve just qualified for the second round of Europe which was a good achievement.

“They play on a third generation pitch which is a bit of an eye opener and would be a fantastic test for us.

“They will be in peak condition after seven or eight friendlies and three or four competitive matches or so playing in Europe.”

The match forms part of a three-game tour in five days of North Wales and Luton have made sure they have a big enough squad to cope as they also face games at Airbus UK Broughton and Colwyn Bay (Thursday).

Former Saints player and assistant boss Brabin said: “We are bringing the younger players as well and the injured players – a squad of about 28.

“We think that’s why it’s good to take a big squad with us.

“I don’t want to throw the lads into 90 minutes and risk getting them injured.”

Lively wingers Charlie Henry and Dan Walker, plus captain George Pilkington all missed out on places in Friday’s night’s opening first team friendly win at Hitchin Town, but the latter two could both figure in Wales.

Brabin added: “He (Henry) had a really freaky accident and is on his own programme.

“No-one else’s too major.

“Dan went over on his ankle the other day.

“George had had a very strenuous summer since the final.

“Straight after the final his wife was due to give birth and delayed his pre-season programme.

“He was a little bit behind during his own programme and didn’t think he should play.”

However, with the Saints set to fly out to Denmark on Tuesday for the second leg of the Europa League tie with FC Midtjylland, the Park Hall club are likely to rest several key players from today’s 3pm kick off.
