Wrexham are preparing for one of their biggest games of the season versus Wycombe Wanderers this Saturday.
The Red Dragons have smashed expectations regarding their 2024/25 League One campaign out the water.
After securing three promotions in a row, it seemed unlikely the Welsh outfit would be battling for a third this term.
Humphrey Ker predicted around midtable for Wrexham before their first game of the season against Wycombe Wanderers, which they won 3-2.
But ahead of the reverse fixture on March 15th, the Welsh club now have a chance to climb into the automatic promotion places with a positive result.
Wrexham team and injury news vs Wycombe
Wrexham have a number of injury concerns going into their meeting with Wycombe this weekend.
Andy Cannon is likely out for the season and a number of other players picked up knocks in the recent loss to Reading.
Speaking after watching his side fall to a 2-0 defeat, Phil Parkinson gave a Wrexham injury update, in which he confirmed three players needed to be assessed.
He said: “There’s a few knocks.
“Ollie Rathbone played but Dobson wasn’t quite right, Sebastian Revan has twisted his ankle a little bit and Ryan Barnett’s got clattered towards the end twice, which doesn’t look too good.
“There are several things we need to assess quickly.”
Paul Mullin returns to Wrexham squad vs Wycombe
A loss for Wrexham on Saturday will likely kill off their chances of getting promoted automatically, so Parkinson has to get his team selection spot on.
Injury issues will likely hamper his ability to pick the best possible eleven but the Red Dragons still have a strong squad.
Ryan Longman could come back in on the right of the back-five if Barnett hasn’t recovered from his knock.
In midfield, meanwhile, a lack of options means there’s a good chance George Evans is given the nod ahead James McClean, who started the Reading match out of position and didn’t look great.
McClean will then likely come back in at left-wing-back ahead of Sebastian Revan.
And with goals still a problem for Wrexham, there’s a chance we finally see Paul Mullin, after not featuring for eight games, start on the bench ahead of Jack Marriott and Modou Faal.
Here’s how we think Wrexham could line up vs Wycombe: Okonkwo, Cleworth, O’Conell, O’Connor, Longman, Evans, James, Rathbone, McClean, Smith, Rodriguez.
