We take a look at the latest team news ahead of the Vancouver Whitecaps fixture.
Wrexham team news vs Vancouver Whitecaps
Wrexham will have been pleased with Elliot Lee returning in the 2-2 draw vs Chelsea in Santa Clara last time out. The English midfielder had missed the previous game against AFC Bournemouth due to a slight injury he picked up against Hanley in the first pre-season friendly.
The former Sunderland boss will be pleased with the fitness levels shown in the recent fixtures with the majority of his squad available for selection.
Paul Mullin continues his recovery away from the tour after surgery earlier this summer, with wing-back Jacob Mendy also unavailable for the Vancouver Whitecaps friendly.
How will Wrexham line up vs Vancouver Whitecaps
The former Bradford City coach named a strong side against Chelsea with the 56-year-old coach expected to name a similar XI.
Interestingly James McClean played as a forward last time out. However, Parkinson may look to rotate the team slightly with the veteran potentially returning to the left-wing back position.
The Wrexham boss started James Jones in midfield against the Premier League side, but with this being the last pre-season fixture on the Wrex-coast tour he may start Wrexham star Andy Cannon against Vancouver Whitecaps.
