Wrexham were missing seven injured players when they bounced back to winning form against Preston North End at the weekend.
Phil Parkinson's men claimed a crucial 4-1 victory in the EFL Championship on Saturday, and the Wrexham boss was eager to highlight after the game that his squad had achieved this result despite the significant number of absentees.
"I am very confident we will have a strong season," he said following the Preston victory. "We've had, and it is worth mentioning the injuries even after a win, probably the worst injury run since I've been in charge here. A lot of quality has been stripped from the squad. Go to any side in the Championship and remove seven or eight key players, and the standard of performance will inevitably drop."
Wrexham will be hoping to welcome several players back in the coming weeks as they look to push up the standings. Here's the latest update on their injury absentees and their expected return timelines.
Max Cleworth
Cleworth has sat out five matches after sustaining a hamstring injury in the home draw with Burnley. The Wrexham academy product was initially ruled out for eight weeks, meaning he is not expected to feature again until next month. He could make his comeback during the November international break and be in contention for the away fixture against Lincoln City.
George Thomason
Thomason has been absent for nine matches after sustaining a thigh injury late in Wrexham's draw with Watford in their second game of the campaign. He was sidelined for 10 weeks, meaning he could return just ahead of the next international break. Parkinson won't rush his recovery, but Thomason may be available for the fixtures against either Middlesbrough or Wolves early next month.
Liberato Cacace
Cacace has yet to feature in a competitive game this season, with Parkinson even admitting that the nature of his latest setback remains something of a "mystery." The left wingback has made just 13 appearances since arriving at Wrexham a year ago and recently consulted a specialist in London in an effort to identify the root cause of his persistent fitness issues. At this point, predicting a return date remains impossible.
Seb Revan
Revan would have departed Wrexham in the summer had he been fit, but he continues to be sidelined by a serious hamstring injury sustained while on loan at Burton Albion back in February. Parkinson recently indicated that he hopes Revan will be fit enough to head out on loan once more during the January transfer window.
Ben Sheaf
Sheaf has been absent for the past three matches after picking up a groin injury in training during the October international break. Parkinson stressed that the problem was not "serious," and Sheaf is not expected to be out for an extended period. He could make his return to action this month.
Nathan Broadhead
Broadhead has missed four matches after picking up a thigh strain in training ahead of the autumn international break. The injury is believed to be significant, and he is not anticipated to return until December at the earliest. The Wales international may not feature again before the end of the calendar year.
Josh Windass
Windass picked up an ankle injury in the early stages of Wrexham's recent draw with Derby County and has been absent for the two matches since. The 32-year-old was spotted in a protective boot following the weekend victory over Preston North End. He won't be rushed back into the starting lineup, though the injury is not as severe as first thought.
