Wrexham face off with Rotherham United in a League One clash on Saturday, October 19th.
Phil Parkinson’s men endured something of a rough patch prior to the October international break.
They drew 0-0 with Leyton Orient before suffering a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Stevenage.
That saw Wrexham move two points behind League One leaders Birmingham City having played a game more than the Blues.
The Welsh outfit did get back to winning ways in their final clash before the most recent break, however.
James McClean and Ryan Barnett were among the standout performers when Wrexham beat Northampton Town 4-1.
However, that tie took place at the Racecourse Ground where the Red Dragons are currently undefeated in 2024/25.
Their away record is much less impressive this season but they should still be favourites to beat a Rotherham United side who are languishing in midtable currently.
Wrexham team news ahead of Rotherham United
Wrexham have three main injury concerns going into their meeting with Rotherham on Saturday afternoon.
Max Cleworth picked up an ankle injury against Leyton Orient, George Evans ‘felt something crack’ versus Stevenage and Luke Bolton is also currently sidelined with an issue.
Earlier this week, Parkinson provided an injury update on Cleworth, Evans and Bolton, and it is good news for the former of that trio but Evans is a long-term absentee.
He said: “The squad is looking strong and we need everybody for the week ahead.
“Max is making good progress. He is back on the grass this week but we will know more over the next three or four days how quickly that progress is going to be.
“Luke is back in training which is great. He has had a problem with his foot but he did a lot of running last week and he has now joined in fully with the lads.
“George is going to be long term.”
Wrexham predicted XI vs Rotherham United
There could be a couple of changes to the Wrexham starting line-up this weekend, including Ollie Palmer dropping to the bench.
Palmer has previously been labeled ‘brilliant’ and though he recently put pen to paper on a new deal, his goal return is lacking this season.
As a result, summer addition Modou Faal could finally be given his first taste of League One action this weekend.
The striker started in midweek with Wrexham fans naming Faal Man of the Match vs Wolves’ U21s.
The rest of the eleven is likely to look very similar to the one that started the win over Northampton, though Cleworth could potentially replace Scarr at centre-back if he is fit enough.
