Wrexham Team News: Craig
Morgan is the only injury doubt for Wrexham after he picked up a knee injury
during training. Denis Smith is already without defenders Brian Carey and
Steve Roberts along with Andy Dibble, Jim Whitley and Simon Spender but
Scott Green is back in the squad after recovering from a virus. Ben Foster
continues in goal with Andy holt joining Shaun Pejic and Dennis Lawrence in
defence if Craig Morgan is ruled out. If Holt is moved into defence then
Alex Smith will come in at left wing back with Carlos Edwards on the right.
Darren Ferguson and Mark Jones start in midfield with either Danny Williams
or Matt Crowell joining them. Expect Chris Llewellyn and Juan Ugarte to
start up front but Denis Smith does have options with Hector Sam and Chris
Armstrong on the bench. |
