Wrexham Team News: On
loan striker Juan Ugarte has been ruled out after he picked up a knee injury
in the first half at Bristol Rovers and there are concerns over Danny
Williams after the midfielder failed to train on Monday. Matt Crowell is
included in the travelling party although he is not match fit and Wrexham
remain without the services of Dean Bennett (ankle), Shaun Pejic
(ligaments), Lee Roche (hernia) and Jim Whitley (knee).
Michael Ingham continues in goal but there is likely to be
changes in front of him with Paul Warhurst expected to be recalled to shore
up the leaky defence. This will mean a reshuffle of the back three with Dave
Bayliss and Dennis Lawrence taking the two places alongside Warhurst. This
will allow Andy Holt to possibly move out to his natural left wing position
at the expense of Alex Smith, although Smith may be required in midfield if
Danny Williams is ruled out. Another possibility would be Levi Mackin to
take the final place in midfield alongside Darren Ferguson and Mark Jones
with Simon Spender continuing at right wing back. Up front Lee McEvilly or
Robbie Foy will partner Jon Walters in the absence of the injured Dean
Bennett and Juan Ugarte.
Wrexham Squad (17): Ingham, Michael Jones, Mike Williams, Lawrence,
Bayliss, Holt, Smith, Danny Williams, Mark Jones, Ferguson, Walters, Foy,
Mackin, Warhurst, Spender, McEvilly, Crowell.

Peterborough striker Calum Willock faces a late fitness test

returned to QPR following the end of a one month loan spell at London Road.
