IRON TEAM NEWS
Ethan Young suffered with a viral infection last week but returns and is available for selection for the Iron this weekend.
Liam Feeney & Kgosi Ntlhe (hamstrings) continue to miss out through their respective injuries, however Jordan Hallam is back in training and is noted as available for matchday squad selection after working hard towards building his match fitness.
THE OPPOSITION
The Red Dragons were called off midweek too through adverse weather conditions which saw their game against Chesterfield postponed.
Their game away at Eastleigh last Saturday did however survive the frosty weather, with Phil Parkinson’s men coming away with a 2-0 victory to keep pace with table-topping Notts County.
Wrexham have history in the FA Trophy, winning the competition in 2013 as well as making the final only last season.
It was fellow National League side Bromley who pipped the trophy from Wrexham last season though, with a Jake Hyde header ruled out in added time which ensured the trophy headed to South East London.
