Team News |
|
| Wrexham | Shrewsbury Town |
| Injuries: Striker Hector Sam is out with his hamstring but Jim Whitley is back after thigh trouble. Wrexham are still without Waynne Phillips and Dan Bennett. | Shrewsbury manager Kevin Ratcliffe may welcome back defender Leon Drysdale to the starting line-up for the game.
The right-back has been out with a bruised right foot, but trained on Monday and may well be included in Kevin Ratcliffe's starting XI.
Defender Andy Thompson is available for selection after shaking off a calf strain.
There are no new injury worries for the Shrews manager, who is hoping his side can extend their unbeaten run to five games following the 0-0 draw with Bristol Rovers on Saturday.
Shrewsbury have been playing 3-5-2 away from home to combat their defensive problems and it has proved so far successful with full backs Darren Moss and Alex Smith playing as wing backs with David Artell coming in as the third defender. A familiar face in the Shrewsbury goal will be Mark Cartwright who looks to have overcome injury doubts he had for the weekend match at Torquay. |
| Suspensions: Dennis Lawrence | |
| Squad (17): Dibble, Rogers, Carey, Roberts, Pejic, C Edwards, P Edwards, Holmes, Ferguson, Green, Barrett, Thomas, Whitley, Trundle, Jones, Morrell, Morgan. | |
| Other News: The only change from the team that played on the weekend is Shaun Pejic to replace the suspended Dennis Lawrence in the centre of defence alongside Brian Carey and Steve Roberts. Elsewhere Andy Dibble is in goal and the midfield will be Jim Whitley, Darren Ferguson and Steve Thomas with Carlos Edwards as right wing back and Paul Edwards on the left. Up front will be Andy Morrell and Lee Trundle. |
