Wrexham's Key Players Face Fitness Test Ahead of Derby County Showdown
Wrexham faces Derby County with key players Josh Windass and Kieffer Moore potentially sidelined, setting the stage for an exciting Championship showdown at Pride Park.
The Red Dragons are preparing for a crucial Championship clash against Derby County, with uncertainty surrounding two of their top performers' availability.
Josh Windass and Kieffer Moore, Wrexham's leading goal scorers this season, are both battling injury concerns ahead of Sunday's high-stakes match at Pride Park. Windass sustained a calf problem during the team's 2-1 victory over Preston North End on December 29th, while Moore was forced off with a hamstring injury in the same fixture.
Assistant manager Steve Parkin provided an update on the duo's status, telling BBC Sport Wales, "I think Josh will be assessed over the next couple of days. Kieffer, it's probably a bit too soon for him. We'll see."
Despite the potential personnel challenges, Wrexham demonstrated resilience in their most recent outing, securing a impressive 2-0 away victory against Blackburn Rovers on January 1st. The team remains focused and determined as they approach this anticipated encounter.
Derby County enters the match riding momentum from their 1-0 home triumph over promotion candidates Middlesbrough, ending a three-match winless streak. Parkin expressed excitement about the upcoming fixture, describing it as "what a game to go to" and highlighting the passionate football culture surrounding the match.
The previous meeting between these teams in September concluded in a dramatic draw, with Ben Brereton Díaz equalizing after Lewis O'Brien's initial goal. This history adds additional intrigue to Sunday's 3 PM GMT kickoff at Pride Park.
Wrexham fans can anticipate an electrifying contest, with the team preparing to navigate potential injury challenges and continue their compelling Championship campaign.
