Injuries

Sounds like Baldock, Doyle and Fleck could be involved Saturday but not risked for Wrexham. (All back in training)

Which leaves injured..
O'Connell
Stevens
RND
Brewster
Osula
Osula seems to have been out for quite a long time for a broken jaw? 3 weeks now, would say he should be close to training soon

He's not training. Or at least he said that he was injured and would have probably featured tomorrow if not (although he is cup tied so good luck with that Hecky!)
 
If you're to believe Heckingbottom's words in the pre-match press-conference, then there would seem to be quite a bit of positive news on the injury front.

Firstly, McAtee and Clark were named on the substitutes bench for our trip to Rotherham. McAtee did 20 mins, Clark unused.
Tommy Doyle got a calf niggle in training which ruled him out of the trip to Rotherham, but apparently he is "back on the grass" with Baldock and Fleck.
Others have said it, but I'd be hesitant to bring Doyle in on a permanent. He's unavailable a lot and I don't think he's shown much improvement in his time here.

The great news is that all being well, we might expect McAtee, Baldock, Clark, Fleck and Jebbison to be back in the squad by the time we face Middlesbrough.
This would give us great depth to tackle this tough run of fixtures that's coming up.

No updates provided on Stevens, Brewster or RND.

Revised guesses below:

C Clark - mid-February 2023 (4 weeks) - hamstring strain

D Jebbison - mid-February 2023 (3 games) - suspension

T Doyle - mid-February 2023 (2 weeks) - calf

J Fleck - mid-February 2023 - (3 months) swelling around previously broken leg

G Baldock - mid-February 2023 - unknown muscular injury (4 weeks)

E Stevens - late-February 2023 - unknown muscular injury (6 weeks)

R Brewster - March 2023 (5 months) - hamstring surgery

R Norrington-Davies - March 2023 (5 months) - hamstring surgery

J O'Connell - unlikely to return (2.5 years+) - knee

Guess at the team for Wrexham:

..............................Davies
......Basham.........Egan.......Robinson
...Bogle..............................................Osborn
..........Berge......Norwood.....Coulibaly
....................Sharp.........McBurnie

Subs: Foderingham, Clark, Ahmedhodzic, Lowe, McAtee, Ndiaye, Marsh.

Worth noting Anel took a heavy knock away at Rotherham. He played on, but he might be feeling a bit sore.
Some of the youngsters you might have expected to see in the squad: Osula (broken jaw), Arblaster (pneumonia), Sachdev - are either injured / returning from injuries / illness and won't be risked.
 
Sounds like much better news.

He may not have provided updates on RND but he is back in the gym we know that from a post the club put out.

Brewster has enough about him to give it back to some Wrexham fans and the match officials. So he can't be a million miles away from fitness either. 😄

On SUTV Baldock said he had a hamstring injury.......just to tidy up your weekly doom and gloom update 😉
 
If ever there's a time we need to avoid picking up injuries, it's the next 2 weeks or so. We're about to enter our hardest run of games of the season, at the crucial point of the season

If things could align so we finally have some luck with injuries starting right now that would be very much appreciated

We have literally started wrapping our players up in cotton wool.

Here is a recent picture of Ndiaye:

Just hope we don't play Bogle, Ndiaye and Berge tomorrow

All are either too important, fragile, or a combination of the two and shouldn't be risked

I'd also say we should save Doyle for Boro. Play Bash in CM v Swansea if we have to and grind out an ugly, vile 1-0

Are you sure that this isn't the latest designer outfit which our former trendy young thing that is Oli Burke has recently spunked a load of coin on? He was dressed up as a Egyptian Mummy the other week. Maybe he's moved on to being Flossy the Sheep this week?

I'd give Anel and McBurnie the night off too or at least the bench.

I think we'll start both for their aggression and aerial ability given that we know exactly what Wrexham's tactics are. The aim should be to be two or three goals up at the hour mark which will let us make some changes as they tire.

Two or three goals up ?
Bin watchin us lately ?
Anyway , I admire your optimism.
If he doesn't start Coulibaly tonight then I don't know why he's in the squad.
