Time to get to know Preston new boy Emil Riis

The Danish striker has only spent a limited time in England following his move from Randers FC earlier in the month.

He arrived just a couple of days before North End’s 4-2 win at Brentford, Riis coming on as a late sub.

Then he headed back to Denmark for international duty with the Under-21s.

Riis was back at Euxton for training on Friday ahead of Sunday’s Deepdale clash with Cardiff City (12pm).

Neil said: “The first day Emil joined us after he signed he was still waiting for his test results so couldn’t train with the lads.

“He trained the next day which was the day before the Brentford game, so the session was quite light.

“Immediately after that game he was away again to Denmark.

“It’s liked we signed someone and then he vanished.

“Emil will get a couple of days to train before we play Cardiff.

“So in a two-week period he is going to have only had three training sessions, two of which are match day minus one.

“It will be good to get some time with him and get Emil used to how we do things here.”

In the coming weeks Riis will get plenty of time with his PNE team-mates.

They have seven matches between this weekend and the November international break, three at home and four away.

Neil said: “We’ve got a busy spell ahead and it is a chance to put a run of results together, get some points on the board.”
