It’s now been revealed what Wrexham’s plans are once they get home, with two more friendlies lined up. But, full attention turns to the game against Wellington Phoenix for now.

Wrexham team news

Parkinson is expecting a tough game against Wellington, and will potentially field a pretty strong team to really test his players here.

There are a few players and situations to look out for versus Wellington, including whether Ollie Palmer gets more minutes and if Sam Smith will finally play some football after missing the last two games.

The major injury issue for Wrexham right now is Ollie Rathbone, whose situation is not good. The midfielder limped off against Sydney and was sent for X-rays.

There is some good news, though, as Andy Cannon was spotted training for the first time in months. He’s unlikely to get any game time this weekend, but it’s still a positive step.
