That depletes midfield options a little, luckily for Phil Parkinson his midfield is currently his most stacked area.<\/p>\n<p>Lee is out and joined by the long-term absentees Danny Ward, Jay Rodriguez, and Andy Cannon. Parkinson spoke about all three and while Cannon appears to be closest to a return, that still appears to be a long way off.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Wrexham Predicted Lineup<\/h3>\n<p>A good win on Friday will boost confidence coming into this one and raises a good question of whether to rotate or continue with most of the same starters. One area of interest will be the defensive line, after a three-match suspension, Callum Doyle is available and could be immediately brought back into the fold.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the team should stay largely the same with some minor tweaks in midfield possible.<\/p>\n<p>GK &#8211; Arthur Okonkwo<\/p>\n<p>WB &#8211; Issa Kabore<\/p>\n<p>CB &#8211; Max Cleworth<\/p>\n<p>CB &#8211; Dominic Hyam<\/p>\n<p>CB &#8211; Callum Doyle<\/p>\n<p>WB &#8211; Liberato Cacace<\/p>\n<p>CM &#8211; George Thomason<\/p>\n<p>CM &#8211; Matty James<\/p>\n<p>CM &#8211; Lewis O&#8217;Brien<\/p>\n<p>ST &#8211; Josh Windass<\/p>\n<p>ST &#8211; Kieffer Moore<\/p>\n<p><strong>Featured Image Credit<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_658420\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-658420\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-658420 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/08\/imago1065210561-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Wrexham Team News vs Portsmouth - image of Kieffer Moore battling for possession\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/08\/imago1065210561-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/08\/imago1065210561-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/08\/imago1065210561-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/08\/imago1065210561-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/08\/imago1065210561-2048x1363.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/08\/imago1065210561-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/08\/imago1065210561-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-658420\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">IMAGO \/ Pro Sports Images<br \/>Wrexham FC v West Bromwich Albion EFL Sky Bet Championship 16\/08\/2025.
