Wrexham will return to action later this month following the September international break.
Currently, four Wrexham players are on international duty this month.
Kieffer Moore scored for Wales earlier this week, carrying on his prolific goal-scoring form that has seen him net four for the Red Dragons since his summer arrival.
On Friday, Issa Kabore played in a 6-0 win for Burkina Faso, completing the full 90 minutes.
Nathan Broadhead (Wales) and Dom Hyam (Scotland) are also on international duty but did not play for their countries this week.
Another Wrexham ace who should have been away with Wales during September is Danny Ward.
However, the summer signing is now out with an injury after starting 2025/26 as Phil Parkinson’s number one.

When is Danny Ward back from injury
Ward was injured for Wrexham vs Millwall, being forced off late on and replaced by Arthur Okonkwo.
Okonkwo made a brilliant save late in that fixture to ensure the Dragons notched their first win of the season.
Since then, it has been revealed that Ward is out for a ‘significant period’. He has also been left out of Wrexham’s 24-man Championship squad.
Parkinson said on Ward: “It is really bad news for us with Danny and more importantly for himself. It is a dislocated elbow but when you do a dislocation, you have ligament damage which needs rectifying.
“He faces an operation on Friday and he will obviously have a significant period of time out. I think the specialist has said we won’t know until he has actually done the operation and put a timescale on that but obviously it is a serious injury and our thoughts are with Danny.
“It is part and parcel of football picking up injuries and he will come back at some point this season ready to play his part.”

Arthur Okonkwo must step up for Wrexham
Early in the season, Wrexham fans questioned why Okonkwo wasn’t playing in the Championship.
He has been their number one since the early stages of 2023/24 after joining from Arsenal on loan.
The goalkeeper was out of contract with the Gunners in the summer of 2024, and Parkinson urged Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac to sign Okonkwo, as he revealed in Season 4 of Welcome to Wrexham.
He stated: “I said to Rob and Ryan the one player who would be a huge investment for the club is Arthur. Of course, there’s going to be a number of clubs vying for his signature.”
For whatever reason, Parkinson wanted Ward between the sticks ahead of Okonkwo this term, but the former’s injury has drastically altered those plans.
In turn, it is now imperative that the ex-Gunner steps up to the plate in the coming months.
Despite some fan backlash, Ward’s Championship stats were good, and he is leaving big shoes to fill.
