Wrexham AFC fans are currently in a period of eager anticipation as they await their team’s return to action. Following their promotion from League Two, there remains over a month until Ryan Reynolds’ side kicks off their U.S.-friendly tour. However, the team recently faced an unfortunate development: star player James McClean sustained a significant injury.

During this interim period, Wrexham players have been taking time off to relax and spend quality moments with family and friends. However, complications arose recently as McClean’s return to training did not proceed as anticipated due to his injury setback.

Take a look at James McClean’s nasty injury

Following Wrexham’s match against Stockport over a month ago, James McClean has made his return to training. The 35-year-old recently posted a photo on his Instagram story from the training session that has sparked concerns among Wrexham supporters. The image reveals a severe blood blister on his heel, which appears quite gruesome.

Currently, there is no update on the expected recovery period for McClean. However, it seems unlikely that he will be able to train at full capacity in the immediate future. Despite this setback, there remains hope that the winger will recuperate in time to participate in Wrexham’s upcoming U.S. friendly tour.

During this tour, the Red Dragons are scheduled to face formidable opponents, including Premier League sides Bournemouth and Chelsea, as well as MLS team Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Manager Phil Parkinson undoubtedly aims for a fully fit squad to ensure optimal readiness ahead of their important League One campaign and aspirations of securing promotion once more. Meanwhile, Wrexham continues their search for new signings for the next season in anticipation of bolstering their squad further.

Wrexham planning big moves ahead of League One

The current transfer window has been relatively quiet for the Welsh side, with the team still in pursuit of its first acquisition. At the outset, Phil Parkinson remarked that “There’s Lots of Options” available to them. One notable target for Wrexham has been Marc Leonard, a midfielder from Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion. The 22-year-old is also attracting interest from several Championship teams.

Additionally, Arthur Okonkwo, a key figure in Ryan Reynolds’ side’s successful League Two campaign and recently released by Arsenal, remains on the club’s radar, with hopes of securing him on a permanent basis this time. Another name linked to Wrexham is Jamie Lindsay. It will certainly be intriguing to observe how these potential deals unfold moving forward.
