Leeds United are set for their first pre-season match of the summer, with the aim of building fitness for the season ahead.

It’s the first time Daniel Farke’s side will be in action since Leeds’ heartbreaking play-off final defeat to Southampton.

The Whites narrowly missed out on promotion back to the Premier League, condemning them to another season in the Championship.

However, with a rebuild on the cards, the squad is being prepared to do it all again in hopes of going one step further this time.

Supporters will get a first glimpse of the team in their new home kit, along with some fresh faces in the squad, when they face off with Harrogate Town in their first public pre-season friendly of the summer.

So, with that said, here’s a look at everything you need to know about the Leeds match and how you can watch it.

Leeds team news

Leeds are set to welcome defender Pascal Struijk back into the team after his long injury layoff that saw him miss out on the latter half of last season.

New signings Joe Rodon, Joe Rothwell and Alex Cairns could all be in line for an appearance too, following their moves this summer.

There is uncertainty surrounding the fitness of Patrick Bamford as the striker has been missing from Leeds pre-season training so far, with caution taken over his injury troubles.
