Shrewsbury v Wrexham - Who's out and who's a doubt

Shrewsbury Town have been up against it on the injury front for quite some time.

But does it feel as if the pressure is slowly starting to ease on that front for Matt Taylor and his coaching staff?

Tom Bayliss returned against Burton Albion and played a part in the win over Fleetwood. He is now in contention for a starting place ahead of the big game against Wrexham this weekend.

Taylor revealed in his pre-match press conference that Jason Sraha has had a good week on the training field after being fit enough for the bench on New Year's Day.

And with Carl Winchester getting over his calf problem, it looks as if Town finally have some competition for places - a headache the head coach has not had for a while.

Of the players who are still missing - what chance do they have of being back for the clash against Wrexham on Sunday?

Dan Udoh 0 % chance

The forward picked up an injury during the game against Cheltenham, and Town will be without him for six weeks. Has no chance of being involved against Wrexham, and will have to watch his team-mates from the stands.

Brandon Fleming 0 % chance

Currently back with his parent club Hull City. The club are set to make decisions about their loan players soon.

Tom Flanagan 0 % chance

He was in the press box Monday and was seen wearing his knee brace so there is no chance of any kind of a return yet.

Ryan Finnigan 0 % chance

When he was first ruled out, it was around this month when he was predicted to return, but the midfielder has been with his parent club Southampton and has not been doing his rehab at Town.

Kieran Phillips 0 % chance

The end of January or the start of February was the time he was predicted to return to action, but we must first wait to see if he returns to Huddersfield or not.

George Nurse 0 % chance

Signed a contract extension earlier this week, which was great news, but in that statement, he said he is unlikely to feature before next season.
