James McClean and Elliot Lee could be in contention for returns to Phil Parkinson's starting side when Wrexham go to Huddersfield Town on Tuesday (19:45 GMT). McClean (pictured above), 35, has not played since 18 February because of a hip issue but was back on the bench for Saturday's goalless draw with Bolton Wanderers.
