The Story in 60 Seconds

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson confirmed that 18-year-old striker Sammy Chesworth is set to be included in the matchday squad to face West Bromwich Albion. Chesworth previously made the substitutes' bench for the Championship match away to Derby County after scoring twice for the under-18s against Preston. Although he did not feature on the pitch at Pride Park, Parkinson praised the first-year professional's recent performances and development.

Chesworth's continued inclusion comes amid a mounting injury list for Wrexham. Josh Windass limped off against Derby, while Callum Doyle, Ben Sheaf, and Matty James suffered injuries during the international break. They join George Thomason, Max Cleworth, Nathan Broadhead, and Libby Cacace on the sidelines, prompting Parkinson to rely on squad depth and academy talent.
