Jack Marriott impressing for Reading
The Carabao Cup tie is likely to see Jack Marriott make a return to the Racecourse Ground.
Wrexham made around £150,000 from player sales during the summer transfer window.
One of those deals involved selling Marriott to Reading for an undisclosed fee.
The striker has hit the ground running at his new club, and was in action on Tuesday evening against Ollie Palmer’s Swindon Town.
Reading fans are impressed with Marriott, who scored as their side lost 3-2 to Palmer and Co.
