Wrexham Team News:
Wrexham's injury problems continue to mount with Hector Sam now doubtful
with a knee injury and with Chris Armstrong suspended for the game then
expect a new strike force of Chris Llewellyn and Dena Bennett. Andy Dibble
is out with a dislocated finger and that means Matt Baker will make his
first start in a Wrexham shirt. Dennis Lawrence is out with an ankle injury
along with Steev Roberts and that leaves the only possible back three of
Brian Carey, Shaun Pejic and Craig Morgan. Denis Smith has options in
midfield with Alex Smith likely to be recalled to allow Llewellyn to move up
front and Smith will be joined by Darren Ferguson and Danny Williams in
midfield. Jim Whitley and Andy Holt will continue to provide the width on
the right and left respectively. |
