Wrexham call off two fixtures

Whilst tomorrow's fixture with Hereford United goes ahead as planned, Wrexham have called off their next two fixtures as several of their players are on International duty.

The Daily Post says that 'Steve Evans, Mark Jones, Chris Llewellyn, Mike Williams and Neil Taylor will join up with the Wales senior and under-21 squads following tomorrow’s home match against Hereford United, while Mike Carvill will also report for Northern Ireland under-21 duty.'

"It’s unfortunate, but if we were to lose anyone else to injury in the Hereford game we might have left ourselves very short of options, to say nothing of picking up knocks in training," said manager Brian Carey.

Meanwhile Graham Turner has told BBC Hereford and Worcester that he has a full squad for tomorrow's game and is hopeful his players can repeat the second-half performance at Birmingham earlier this week.

"We matched a very good Birmingham side, and if their keeper hadn't pulled of some fine saves, we would have gone to extra-time at least," said Turner.

"We need to believe we can repeat that sort of form, get our passing game going, and if we do we can be challenging in the Second Division.

"I'm delighted with the way the players have worked to come together as a team, and even though it is early in the season, I feel we can make a challenge for top places this season."
