Liberato Cacace: Wrexham close in on ‘record’ deal for Empoli left-back

Wrexham face Cacace’s former club Wellington on Saturday (06.00BST) before returning to north Wales to continue pre-season.

But Parkinson faces a further wait over the fitness of midfielder Ollie Rathbone who suffered an ankle injury in the defeat by Sydney FC.

An X-ray has shown no break but Wrexham are now waiting for results of scans, with the player set to remain in a protective boot for the next two weeks before further assessment.

Meanwhile, striker Jack Marriott will have his return to the UK delayed after he fell ill and required surgery to remove his appendix.

Fellow striker Smith has not featured so far on the tour as he recovers from an unspecified issue, although Andy Cannon (ACL) and Mo Faal (thigh) have both resumed training after long-term injuries during the tour that also saw Wrexham beat Melbourne Victory.

Crowds of around 40,000 watched Wrexham in their first two fixtures, with local estimations of 25,000 expected to be in attendance for Saturday’s game at the Sky Stadium.
