A list from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.besoccer.com\/team\/injuries-suspensions\/wrexham\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BeSoccer<\/a> has a much longer injury list too for the coach to worry about.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2025\/10\/19\/son-heung-min-aims-for-an-mls-championship-in-his-first-season-with-lafc\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Son Heung-Min Aims for an MLS Championship in his First Season With LAFC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The list has Cacade and Kabore unavailable as well as Elliott Lee, Lewis Brunt, Aaron James, first-choice goalkeeper at the start of the term Danny Ward, Andy Cannon, and Jay Rodriguez all out, with the latter three being long-term absentees.<\/p>\n<p>There are no suspensions affecting the selection. The only absentee due to the African Cup of Nations is the aforementioned Kabore who is sidelined anyway.<\/p>\n<h3>Wrexham Form<\/h3>\n<p>Continuing their trend of being hard to beat, Wrexham have climbed to 15th in the table thanks to 10 draws from their 21 matches this season in the league. They have drawn almost 50% of their matches, winning five and losing six. They are a side that&#8217;ll make it tough for anyone but tend to be too leaky at the back to put matches to bed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2025\/12\/16\/chelsea-vs-cardiff-confirmed-lineups-carabao\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Chelsea vs Cardiff Confirmed Lineups for Carabao Cup<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Wrexham Predicted Lineup vs Swansea<\/h3>\n<p>Rotation is something we&#8217;ve seen from Parkinson throughout the season, changing out in bulk to allow different partnerships to emerge, this one could see him retain stability as his side haven&#8217;t played since Saturday and won&#8217;t play again for a full week, allowing for the strongest available eleven to start.<\/p>\n<p>GK &#8211; Arthur Okonkwo<\/p>\n<p>CB &#8211; Dominic Hyam<\/p>\n<p>CB &#8211; Max Cleworth<\/p>\n<p>CB &#8211; Callum Doyle<\/p>\n<p>WB &#8211; Ryan Longman<\/p>\n<p>WB &#8211; James McClean<\/p>\n<p>CM &#8211; George Dobson<\/p>\n<p>CM &#8211; Matty James<\/p>\n<p>CM &#8211; Lewis O&#8217;Brien<\/p>\n<p>ST &#8211; Kieffer Moore<\/p>\n<p>ST &#8211; Josh Windass<\/p>\n<p><strong>Featured Image Credit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>IMAGO \/ Every Second Media<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wrexham team news for their EFL Championship clash with fellow low-table side Swansea City.
