Preston North End postpones friendly due to England's World Cup match
Summary

Preston North End has postponed their pre-season friendly against Chorley, originally set for July 15, due to a scheduling conflict with England's World Cup semi-final against Argentina on the same date. The club's pre-season schedule begins with a match against Bamber Bridge on July 14. Ongoing pitch improvement work at Deepdale means no friendlies will take place there, and their Carabao Cup first-round tie has been relocated to Goodison Park. Preston will kick off the Championship season against Bolton Wanderers on August 15.
