Latest Oxford United Team and Injury News for Trip to Wrexham
Oxford United Injury News
Matt Phillips – Thigh Injury
The winger has been sidelined since picking up a thigh injury during Oxford’s draw at home against Leicester last month. He’s still some time away from a return.
Oxford’s Returning Players
Ole Romeny – As mentioned in the build up to the Derby fixture, Ole Romeny made his first appearance of the season while on international duty with Indonesia. Despite that, the 25-year-old wasn’t part of the squad that beat the Rams at Grenoble Road so it’s unclear as to when he may return in yellow.
Filip Krastev – Unlike Romeny, Bulgarian international Filip Krastev did make the matchday squad but was an unused substitute. However, with two games coming up this week, it’s likely we’ll see a return from the tricky winger at some point.
Ciaron Brown – Not only was there a welcome return for last season’s Player of the Season, but the defender also played the full 90 minutes against Derby. Despite that, playing in the game at Wrexham before a trip to Sheffield Wednesday may be too much for the recently returned defender, with Rowett likely to monitor his minutes.
Wrexham Injury News
Harry Ashfield – Ankle
Wrexham academy graduate Harry Ashfield is one of a few that will miss this fixture. The 19-year-old sustained ankle ligament damage last month and while he’s closer to a return that others, will still be absent on Wednesday.
Aaron James – Knee
Injured at a similar time to Ashfield, defender Aaron James is another currently on the injury list. The 20-year-old has recently had knee surgery after picking up an injury in training in September and will miss several months.
Andy Cannon – Knee
A long-term absentee, Andy Cannon will miss the game. The 29-year-old was stretchered off after picking up a knee injury against Mansfield in League One back in February.
Jay Rodriguez – Leg
Omitted from the 25-man squad due to an injury sustained during pre-season, veteran striker Jay Rodriguez will also miss the game.
Danny Ward – Elbow
Like Rodriguez, goalkeeper Danny Ward was also left out of Parkinson’s 25-man squad due to injury. After picking up an elbow injury during a win over Millwall, the Wales international will miss a large part of the season.
Wrexham’s Returning Players
Ollie Rathbone – Fan favourite Ollie Rathbone has been sidelined since pre-season but made a return to the bench last time out against Stoke.
Liberato Cacace – The New Zealander has struggled with hamstring injuries already this season but did get 29 minutes as a substitute at the Bet365 Stadium.
