Wrexham’s manager, Phil Parkinson, has provided an update on the anticipated return of key players from injury. Following a busy schedule of five matches in 15 days, the team had to manage player rotations carefully.
Wrexham’s Injury Update
Midfielder Max James and central defender Matty Cleworth missed the FA Cup match against Sean Dyche’s team. Parkinson believes both players will benefit from this strategic break. Cleworth recently received an injection in his back, while James has been dealing with a tendon issue.
Player Recovery Progress
- Max James: Expected to return, demonstrating good form in training.
- Matty Cleworth: Benefited from time off to recover fully from injury.
Parkinson noted that forward Kieffer Moore also rested during the Forest match, which could prove significant for the remainder of the season. He stated that if conditions had been better prior to the game, Moore might have been available for selection.
Upcoming Matches
Issa Kabore, who last played on November 8 against Charlton Athletic, is nearing a return and may participate in the upcoming home match against Norwich City this Saturday at 15:00 GMT. Parkinson emphasized Kabore’s eagerness to return to action.
Conclusion
Parkinson’s proactive approach to managing player health is crucial as the team prepares for the final 20 league games this season. Anticipation builds around the potential return of key players, which could boost Wrexham’s performance in the league.
