Wrexham will be without manager Phil Parkinson for their League One fixture against Bristol Rovers on Friday, April 18.
Wrexham return to League One action with two fixtures in the space of four days over the Easter weekend.
First up for the Red Dragons is a clash with League One strugglers Bristol Rovers at 3pm on Good Friday.
Bristol Rovers are fighting relegation right now, while Wrexham are competing with Wycombe Wanderers to secure automatic promotion at the other end of the table.
As a result, the meeting at the Racecourse Ground on April 18 is of huge importance to both clubs.
Wrexham are only one point above Wycombe with a worse goal difference, so anything other than a draw is likely to see them slip out of the top two.
And they will have to take on their latest opponents with manager Phil Parkinson reduced to a very limited role.

Why isn’t Phil Parkinson managing Wrexham vs Bristol Rovers
The battle for promotion took an unwanted turn last weekend when Wrexham drew 0-0 with Wigan Athletic.
It was a poor display from the Welsh outfit, who failed to have a single shot on target across the entire 90 minutes.
To make matters worse, Parkinson was shown a yellow card during the meeting by the referee on the day.
It was Parky’s third yellow of the 2024/25 campaign, meaning he’s now set to serve a one-match ban when Wrexham face Bristol Rovers.
The manager will, of course, still be in attendance for the fixture, but can’t be on the touchline during the tie.
Next fixture Phil Parkinson can manage for Wrexham after ban
Thankfully, we predict Wrexham will beat Bristol Rovers and keep a clean sheet even without the services of their manager.
And as it is only a one-match ban, the players will have their boss back barking orders at them from the sidelines in just a few days.
Owing to it being Easter weekend in the UK, Wrexham play another League One fixture on Monday afternoon.
They take on Blackpool, who have improved a great deal in recent months and sat 10th in the division prior to Friday’s games.
