Wrexham's Moore a 'big doubt' for Wales play-offs

Wrexham striker Kieffer Moore has won 52 caps for Wales Wrexham striker Kieffer Moore is a "big doubt" for Wales' upcoming World Cup play-off campaign, according to Phil Parkinson. Striker Moore came off the bench in the Red Dragons' 4-2 FA Cup fifth-round loss to Chelsea on Saturday. The 33-year-old, who is the club's top scorer this season with 13 goals, was omitted from the squad for his side's 2-1 defeat by Hull City in the Championship on Tuesday night after it was confirmed he had suffered a tendon split. "It was kind of after the [Chelsea] game really, there was a bit of tightness there," Wrexham boss Parkinson said of Moore's injury. "We thought he was OK, he trained on Monday, and then we sent him for a scan and there's a split in the tendon which has shown up." Parkinson went on to add that Moore is a "big doubt" when it comes to the upcoming international camp.

If they emerge victorious in that encounter, they will host the final against either Italy or Northern Ireland five days later. In a further blow for Wrexham, Liberato Cacace has suffered a setback in his recovery from a hamstring injury. Left wing-back Cacace has been plagued by injuries since moving to north Wales from Italian side Empoli last summer. "Libby hasn't trained with us, it's just a setback doing his rehab which is just a huge blow for him and us," Parkinson said of the New Zealand international. The 33-cap Kiwi, 25, has been restricted to 11 Championship appearances this season. Latest Wrexham news, analysis and fan views Is Tudor's Spurs reign almost up after only four games?
