Wrexham is rolling into their Championship return against Derby County with a huge double injury boost: Danny Imray and Ollie Rathbone are officially back in training. This is a massive shot in the arm for the squad right when they need it, getting key guys healthy for a big league match.
Imray Back From Hamstring Trouble
Danny Imray, who had been sidelined with a hamstring issue and missed that win over Southampton, is fully cleared and looking good. Boss Phil Parkinson confirmed both players are back, saying, “Danny only had a slight injury but we were able to take a bit longer with him just to make sure he was right, and he has trained really well this week.” You gotta love that cautious approach paying off, making sure a player is 100% before throwing them back into the fray. That kind of smart management keeps guys on the field long-term.
Rathbone’s Infectious Energy Returns
The other huge piece of news is Ollie Rathbone’s return. He’d been out for the previous two games because of ankle ligament damage, a brutal injury to deal with. But he’s back, and Parkinson isn’t just stoked about his physicality. He highlighted, “Just having Ollie’s personality back on the training ground is a huge boost to the group because he is a player who really drives standards for us.” He added that Rathbone’s “enthusiasm and energy is infectious, and it’s good to have him back fit.” That’s the kind of locker room presence every team needs, someone who lifts everyone else up just by being there.
With both Imray and Rathbone integrated back into the training group, Wrexham looks to be coming into their Championship clash against Derby County firing on all cylinders. Getting these two back, especially with Rathbone’s leadership and energy, has to have the team buzzing and ready to make a serious statement. You know the lads are going to be hyped up, and you better believe Derby County has noticed.
