Hatters midfielder Jordan Clark is eagerly anticipating the chance to secure a spot in Luton’s starting lineup for their Championship season opener against Burnley in just over two weeks.

During the previous season, the 30-year-old was sidelined due to an unfortunate ankle ligament injury sustained while playing against Vfl Bochum during a friendly match in Germany. This setback kept him out of action for the opening three months of Luton’s Premier League campaign. However, Clark is now back in full form and made a strong start by calmly converting a penalty in the recent 2-2 draw with Dundee United.

Reflecting on his improved fitness levels and ambitions for the upcoming season, Clark expressed his determination to secure a place in the lineup for the Burnley game. He emphasized the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and utilizing the top-notch training facilities available at the club to enhance his performance on the field.

Having logged significant playing time in recent matches against various teams, Clark believes that these game minutes are crucial for building match fitness and readiness for the challenges of the upcoming season. He highlighted the intensity and competitiveness of game situations as vital for player development, contrasting them with the more relaxed atmosphere of training sessions.

Clark also commended the support and resources provided by the club’s staff for player recovery and preparation, ensuring that each player can perform at their best when it matters most. As the season opener approaches, he emphasized the importance of every player putting in their best effort to ensure the team is well-prepared and ready to excel from the first game onwards.
