The latest Wrexham team news as Phil Parkinson’s side gear up to face Crewe Alexandra in League Two.

Wrexham are already promoted to League One following their 6-0 win at home to Forest Green Rovers last time out.

The Red Dragons will have competition from Stockport County and Mansfield Town in the third tier.

They have a busy summer ahead of them as they try to be ready for life in the division while they keep moving up the standings.

News about the Wrexham team
The Leader has reported that left-back Jacob Mendy will have surgery and not be able to play again this season. James Jones, a midfielder, is out with a hamstring injury and is unlikely to play against Crewe Alexandra, his previous team.

Starting XI

Okonkwo, Bolton, Cleworth, Tozer, O’Connor, McClean, Cannon, Evans, Davies, Mullin, Marriott

This game is an ideal opportunity for Wrexham to make some changes and perhaps give some of their fringe players the chance to show what they can do.

Arsenal goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo has impressed in this campaign and is due to return to his parent club this summer. However, his contract with the Gunners expires in late June.

Luke Bolton could come in for Ryan Barnett at right wing-back. The ex-Manchester City man joined in January from Salford City.

Max Cleworth and Tom O’Connor may keep their place in the starting XI and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the experienced Ben Tozer given the nod for this one.

James McClean is in line to make his 525th career appearance, with Callum McFadzean pushing for a start in his place.

Jordan Davies may be given some minutes to freshen things up along with Andy Cannon and George Evans. The latter had a loan spell at Crewe Alexandra as a youngster.

Up front, Paul Mullin has 25 goals in all competitions this season, whilst Jack Marriott got his first last weekend and will be looking to build on that now. The likes of Sam Dalby, Ollie Palmer and Steven Fletcher are other options to Parkinson.
