Luton Town defender Tom Lockyer hopes he can now “push forward” after playing his first 90 minutes since collapsing in the play-off final in Saturday’s 2-1 friendly win at Sheffield Wenesday.
Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu and Carlton Morris got the goals for Rob Edwards’ side at Hillsborough, as they fought back from being 1-0 down.
Lockyer said his pre-season has been “tough” but was pleased to be able to last the full match.
He told Luton’s official website: “The main thing is to be as fit as possible going into that first game [against Brighton on 12 August].
“We don’t want to look too far ahead. You can get carried away with the season that’s coming up, but we have to focus on getting our principles right on the pitch, doing everything we can in training for that first game.
