Nathan Broadhead: Wrexham forward to miss Wales’ Nations League games with injury


Wrexham forward Nathan Broadhead will miss the upcoming international camp with a thigh injury.

The 28-year-old was included in Craig Bellamy’s 28-man squad for Wales’ Nations League A fixtures with Portugal, Norway and the Denmark double header.

But he will now withdraw from the squad due to an issue sustained in training, meaning he will also miss Wrexham’s Championship fixture with Southampton on Saturday (15:00 BST).

“Broady has strained his thigh in training, which is a shame because he was training well,” said Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson.

“That’s going to keep him out for the weekend but there’s nothing new from that.”

When asked if the injury would see Broadhead miss the upcoming Wales camp, Parkinson responded: “Yes.”

The 20-cap international started Wrexham’s opening three Championship matches of the season but did not feature in his side’s fixtures with Millwall, Swansea City, Burnley and West Ham United.

Wales travel to face Portugal on 24 September in the first of four fixtures in this newly extended international break.

They then travel to Copenhagen to take on Denmark, before World Cup quarter-finalists Norway (1 October) and the Danes (4 October) visit Cardiff.
