Issa Kabore will return to Wrexham on Friday as Kieffer Moore continues to progress in his recovery from a hamstring injury. Kabore, 24, has not featured for the Red Dragons since sustaining a hamstring injury while on international duty in November. "Issa will be back in Wrexham [on Friday] so obviously I'll be exchanging messages with him," said Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson.
Issa Kabore will return to Wrexham on Friday as Kieffer Moore continues to progress in his recovery from a hamstring injury.
Kabore, 24, has not featured for the Red Dragons since sustaining a hamstring injury while on international duty in November.
But he returned to action for Burkina Faso at the Africa Cup of Nations on Tuesday and is poised to rejoin the Wrexham squad imminently after seeing his national team lose 3-0 to Ivory Coast in the last 16 of the competition earlier this week.
"Issa will be back in Wrexham [on Friday] so obviously I'll be exchanging messages with him," said Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson.
"I think the important thing is that he came through his performance at the back end of the game unscathed and I think that's the key for us.
"So we need to see him, have a chat with him and then build him up gradually for the next couple of weeks."
Striker Moore missed the wins at Blackburn Rovers and Derby County after sustaining a hamstring issue during Wrexham's 2-1 win over Preston North End on 29 December.
But Parkinson suggested that the Wales international, 33, is closing in on a return to action.
"Kieffer's making really good progress and he's done some of the training with the boys [on Thursday] and he's in [on Friday] for a further assessment," said the Wrexham boss.
The Red Dragons face Premier League opposition for the first time during Parkinson's reign as they host Nottingham Forest at the Stok Cae Ras on Friday (19:30 GMT).
And Parkinson believes freshness will be key for his side as he ponders what changes to make following last Sunday's 2-0 win at Derby.
"In a cup game or league game, [it will be] in similar vein to what we've been doing over Christmas in terms of looking at a bit of freshness in the team. I think that will be important," he explained.
"We've trained the last couple of days, the lads have trained well and we've just got to make the call right on the team to get the balance of the team right and the continuity but also a bit of freshness in there as well."
