Wrexham Team News:
Wrexham's injury crisis depended over the weekend with strikers Lee McEvilly
and Jon Walters taking knocks and Dave Bayliss has not helped matters by
picking up a late red card at Bury and will therefore start a three game ban
against Barnet. McEvilly and Walters are struggling with ankle and hamstring
injuries respectively and late fitness test will determine if they join the
lengthy injury list that already contains Jim Whitley, Matt Crowell, Dean
Bennett, Shaun Pejic and Lee Roche. Michael Ingham starts in goal and the
only fit defenders are Paul Linwood, Paul Warhurst and Dennis Lawrence. Andy
Holt will be at left back but the right side is a problem with Simon Spender
still suspended and Dean Bennett out injured with the only real option to
move Warhurst from the back and play Andy Holt in defence with Alex Smith
taking the wide left role. The midfield is likely to remain unchanged with
Danny Williams, Mark Jones and Darren Ferguson continuing in the centre of
the park. Jon Walters has a good chance of being passed fit and Liverpool's
Robbie Foy is on standby to replace McEvilly if he fails his fitness test.
Denis Smith also includes four scholars in the squad to boost the numbers
available for selection.
Wrexham Squad (18): Ingham, Michael Jones, Linwood, Lawrence,
Warhurst, Holt, Smith, Ferguson, Williams, Mark Jones, Mackin, Walters, Foy,
McEvilly, Reed, Evans, Done, Harris.
Barnet Team News: Paul Fairclough's options have been boosted with
Ismail Yakubu included in the squad after recovering from a groin injury but
the Bees remain without Simon Clist (groin) and Jason Norville (hamstring).
Paul Fairclough is unlikely to make any changes despite the first defeat of
the season on Saturday with Ian Hendon expected to recover from a toe injury
he picked up during the game
Officials: The match referee is Trevor Parkes from the West Midlands
