Wrexham Team News: In
form striker Juan Ugarte is out suspended after accumulating five yellow
cards but Chris Armstrong and Hector Sam have returned to the squad
following injury. There was more good news with Carlos Edwards being passed
fit following a hand injury and Darren Ferguson has fully recovered from a
twisted ankle and will make the starting line up after coming on as a second
half substitute at Hereford in midweek. Ben Foster will make his home debut
for Wrexham in goal behind an unchanged back three of Steve Roberts, Craig
Morgan and Dennis Lawrence. Darren Ferguson returns in midfield alongside
Danny Williams and Mark Jones with Matt Crowell making way with Andy holt at
left wing back. Dean Bennett is also back but the best he can hope for is a
place on the bench with Carlos Edwards starting at right wing back. Chris
Llewellyn starts up front with Hector Sam or Chris Armstrong replacing the
suspended Ugarte.
Doncaster Squad (16): Warrington,
Foster, Mulligan, Ryan, Beech, Green, Doolan, McSporran, McIndoe, Campbell,
Roberts, Blundell, Rigoglioso, Johnson, Albrighton, Ravenhill |
