Wrexham are not in action this weekend after already being knocked out of the FA Cup.
The Red Dragons were supposed to compete in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday evening but Wrexham’s clash with Port Vale was postponed due to weather conditions.
They were originally scheduled to take on Reading in a League One match this weekend but that game isn’t going ahead due to the FA Cup.
Wrexham are already out of the competition after losing 1-0 to Harrogate Town in the first round, but Reading will take on Burnley on January 11th.
In turn, the Welsh side are not due to take to the field again until Thursday the 16th of January against rivals Shrewsbury Town.
This means the Wrexham players and Phil Parkinson have a weekend to do as they wish.

Jack Marriott, Elliot Lee and Lewis Brunt are among the stars sidelined at present.
However, it looks set to be a busy weekend for the Wrexham manager, with the 57-year-old confirming, as per Leader Live, that he will go and watch Shrewsbury in action on Saturday.
He said: “I have got the opportunity to go and see Shrewsbury play on Saturday so that will be good.”
Shrewsbury will play host to one of Wrexham’s League One promotion rivals, Huddersfield Town, at 3pm BST.
