Parkinson: Wrexham Injury Update Before Stockport Clash
Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson provided an injury update ahead of the crucial clash against Stockport County at the Racecourse Ground on Saturday. The Dragons will be looking to bounce back from their recent 2-1 defeat at home to Notts County, and a full squad would be a welcome sight for Parkinson.
Key Concerns Remain
While Parkinson confirmed that some players are returning from injury, the manager also highlighted concerns regarding the availability of a few key players.
- Paul Mullin: The prolific striker remains a doubt for the game after picking up a knock in the Notts County match. Mullin's absence would be a significant blow for Wrexham, as he is the club's top scorer and a pivotal player in their attack.
- Elliot Lee: The midfielder also sustained an injury against Notts County and is currently being assessed. His availability for the Stockport game remains uncertain.
- Jake Hyde: Hyde is nearing a return from his injury but is unlikely to feature against Stockport.
Positive News on the Injury Front
Despite the concerns surrounding Mullin, Lee, and Hyde, there is some good news on the injury front.
- Jordan Davies: The midfielder is back in training and could be available for selection against Stockport.
- Sam Dalby: Dalby has recovered from his recent injury and is ready to feature.
A Pivotal Clash
The game against Stockport County is crucial for Wrexham's promotion aspirations. With several key players potentially missing, Parkinson will need to rely on the squad's depth and resilience. The manager emphasized the need for his players to show character and fight for every ball.
Next Steps
Parkinson will continue to assess his players throughout the week leading up to the game, with a final decision on team selection expected on Friday. The Dragons' supporters will be hoping for a positive update on Mullin and Lee's fitness, but will need to be prepared for the possibility of a weakened squad.
Key Takeaways
- Wrexham's key striker Paul Mullin is a doubt for the Stockport game.
- Midfielder Elliot Lee is also being assessed for injury.
