Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson has delivered a huge boost to fans ahead of their crucial clash with Middlesbrough, confirming that star full-back Jacob Mendy is set to make a swift return to the starting XI. The news comes as a major relief after Mendy’s recent spell on the sidelines due to injury had raised concerns about the club’s defensive stability.
Mendy, known for his blistering pace, strength, and attacking flair down the left flank, has been a vital figure in Wrexham’s recent success. His absence was deeply felt, with the team struggling to maintain width and intensity in transition. Now, Parkinson’s confirmation of his return has lifted the mood among fans and players alike.
Speaking ahead of the match, Parkinson praised Mendy’s dedication and quick recovery, describing his return as “a massive positive for the team both defensively and offensively.” The Gambian international’s ability to overlap and deliver precise crosses could prove crucial in breaking down Middlesbrough’s solid back line.
Supporters have taken to social media to celebrate the news, with many calling Mendy’s return “the best boost before a big test.” As Wrexham continue their impressive campaign, having a fully fit squad could make all the difference in their pursuit of promotion glory.
With Mendy back in action, the Dragons’ firepower just got stronger, and optimism around the Racecourse Ground is soaring once again.
