Mark Robins modifies Stoke City’s starting lineup for the test against Wrexham.
For Stoke City’s match against Wrexham in the Championship today, Mark Robins has made one forced alteration to his starting lineup. The sole alteration to the team that drew 1-1 at Blackburn Rovers was the absence of Bae Jun-ho, who suffered a dislocated shoulder during training with South Korea’s Under-22s.
For the first time in four games, Lewis Baker replaces him in a familiar-looking starting lineup with Divin Mubama at the top of the 4-2-3-1 formation. After scoring two goals in England U21s’ 4-0 victory over Moldova, the Man City loan striker returns to Stoke. Viktor Johansson continues in goal, protected by Junior Tchamadeu, Ash Phillips, Ben Wilmot and Aaron Cresswell.
Tomas Rigo and Tatsuki Seko are still in the engine room, while Baker and Mubama are lined up with Million Manhoef and Sorba Thomas. Children Ben Pearson and Jaden Mears are replaced on the bench by Syd Agina and Gabriel Kelly. Pearson, a midfielder, has been kept out “as a precaution” as Jaden Mears retires. Replacements: Kelly, Donley, Bozenik, Cisse, Agina, Bocat, Talovierov, Nzonzi, and Bonham.
