Wrexham have a few out of action as they prepare for their upcoming League Two clash against Forest Green Rovers at The New Lawn.
The Welsh team is without Arthur Okonkwo, Rob Lainton, Ryan Barnett, Anthony Forde, Bryce Hosannah, Eoghan O’Connell, Aaron Hayden, Jordan Tunnicliffe, and Steven Fletcher.
According to The Leader, its manager Phil Parkinson stated earlier this week, “Hopefully we will have a few of the lads back in the next couple of weeks and we will need that because the strength of this group is the squad and the depth we have.”
“We are just lacking that a little bit at the moment so we need to get players back available and when we do over the Christmas period, it is going to be a really interesting one.”
Wrexham will be hoping that all of their absentees can return to the pitch as soon as possible and safely. However, as Parkinson has mentioned, he still has plenty of choices and depth in his squad for when situations like these with injuries occur.
Following their promotion from the National League last season, the Red Dragons had a busy summer transfer window, bringing in additional players to give cover and competition in most areas.
They have adjusted nicely to life back in the Football League and currently sit second in the table. Parkinson’s men have 37 points from their first 20 games, trailing league leaders Stockport County by five points and one point ahead of joint fourth-placed Mansfield Town, Crewe Alexandra, and Notts County.
Wrexham are unbeaten in their last four games in all competitions and have just lost once in their previous 16, so they will be in good spirits heading down to Forest Green. Their prospective opponents have struggled so far this season, finishing 23rd and fighting to prevent relegation to non-league.
