Deadline day signing Joe Worrall admits opportunities were scarce at Burnley as he prepares to face his former side. The centre-back skipped Nottingham Forest to play-off success in 2024 before joining Wrexham, aiming to avoid injury and prove his value. Worrall believes the club has the quality to click and come good, targeting promotion to the Premier League.

After watching two clean sheets from the bench, he aims for his first start. Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson hailed Worrall's personality as a key focus point. With the team adapting travel and training schedules following two long away trips, Parkinson stressed the importance of concentrating on their own performance level against a competitive Burnley side.

The Red Dragons eye their first home win of the season, potentially facing Jamie Vardy, who signed for Burnley as a free agent. Parkinson emphasized the division is very tight and divided by tight margins, respecting Burnley's quality but focusing on Wrexham's own standards. Worrall's knowledge of the Burnley dressing room, left a week ago, could prove valuable.

The club landed attacking option Callum O'Hare on deadline day alongside Vardy's arrival.
