Wrexham Injury News<\/h3>\n

Danny Ward continues to be sidelined after starting the campaign as the number one goalkeeping option. He is joined on the sideline by George Thomason, Andy Cannon, and Jay Rodriguez. Lewis Brunt went off injured at the weekend and the latest indications are quite worrisome.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the defender, manager Phil Parkinson stated<\/a> that it’s “not good” and the player has gone to see a specialist, indicating he will be sidelined long-term. The manager will also be without the suspended Callum Doyle, while Ben Sheaf and Ollie Rathbone are doubts.<\/p>\n

Wrexham Predicted Lineup<\/h3>\n

There’s an expectation that the manager will rotate for this midweek fixture in order to keep his squad fresh. Early in the season, there were almost two seperate eleven’s which has been streamlined to a smaller unit recently. Some areas of the pitch are benefiting from having a settled approach but the hellacious schedule is testing the squad’s limits.<\/p>\n

Kieffer Moore is expected to start up front with competition to see who partners him with Josh Windass in decent form. The defenders will have to switch but that’s one area with enough options to handle rotation especially with the emergence of Dominic Hyam.<\/p>\n

Arthur Okonkwo started the season as the rotational goalkeeper but has stepped in as the first option but he did get rested in the previous round of this tournament and could be benched this time around as well.<\/p>\n
