Three injury blows for Wrexham ahead of FA Cup tie | OneFootball

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson confirmed the absences of three players ahead of his side’s FA Cup clash against fellow Championship outfit Ipswich.

Nathan Broadhead, Matthew James and Liberato Cacace all suffered injuries in the Red Dragons’ recent Championship match against Millwall, where they lost 2-0.

Providing an update on the trio’s fitness, Parkinson said: “Broady has a slight problem with his groin, but he’s making good progress. We never anticipated that to be too long.

“Matty has got a small fracture in his toe. So, we’ve got to get the swelling down on that and then just see how we can manage with the pain.

“Libby has had a scan and there’s a very low-grade hamstring problem. Nothing too serious, but obviously we’ve got to make sure we get it right.”

The Wrexham boss also provided a positive update on January signing Zak Vyner. He said: “Zak’s back in training at the start of next week. He’s been running, but he hasn’t had any contact at the moment. But we knew the time scale when we brought him in.”

Parkinson added: “The other two lads, Davis Keillor-Dunn and Bailey Cadamarteri, have done fine.”

Ahead of tonight’s match, Parkinson said: “The night games, whatever division we’ve been in, whatever competition we’ve been in, are always special here. There’s always just that extra atmosphere in the ground. You can feel it, and the lads really enjoy the evening games.

“It’s been a long time since the club’s progressed to the Fifth Round, so obviously, that has got to be the aim.”
