Wrexham forward Nathan Broadhead has been ruled out of Wales' upcoming international camp due to a thigh injury sustained during training. The 28-year-old was named in manager Craig Bellamy’s 28-man squad for Wales' Nations League A matches against Portugal, Norway, and a double-header with Denmark. However, he will now withdraw from the squad, meaning he will also miss Wrexham’s Championship match against Southampton on Saturday at 15:00 BST.
Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson confirmed that Broadhead suffered a thigh strain in training, which is a setback given that he had been performing well in recent sessions. While the injury will keep him out for the weekend’s game, Parkinson said there are no additional complications. When asked if Broadhead would miss the Wales international camp, Parkinson confirmed, “Yes.”
Broadhead, who has earned 20 caps for Wales, started in Wrexham’s first three Championship games of the season but did not play in subsequent matches against Millwall, Swansea City, Burnley, and West Ham United. Wales’ international fixtures begin on 24 September with a trip to Portugal, followed by a match in Copenhagen against Denmark, then a game against Norway on 1 October, and a return match against Denmark in Cardiff on 4 October.
In Broadhead’s absence, Wrexham manager Parkinson has confirmed that Josh Windass and Ben Sheaf are both available for selection in Saturday’s game against Southampton. Windass, last season’s top scorer, was substituted at halftime during Wrexham’s draw with Burnley and did not feature in the following match against West Ham. Sheaf, who has not played this season due to a knee injury, has been training well and is now ready to return. Parkinson praised both players, saying Windass had “a really good week” on the training ground, while Sheaf had also needed time to recover and was now in good form.
