'Hell no!' - Ben Foster emphatically shuts down prospect of coming out of retirement again to aid Wrexham amid former club's goalkeeping injury crisis

League One

Wrexham

Cambridge U

<p>The Red Dragons are short on goalkeepers after seeing Arthur Okonkwo and Callum Burton both suffer injuries in recent weeks. Brad Foster was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/new-goalkeeper-wrexham-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-new-stopper-ease-crisis-losing-arthur-okonkwo-callum-burton-injury/blt55e392567a2a3c11" target="_blank">signed on a short-term contract</a> last week and third-choice 'keeper Mark Howard kept a clean sheet in Saturday's win over Burton Albion, but Wrexham will be keen for Okonkwo, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-injury-blow-phil-parkinson-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney/blt0c1d027ec91c3320" target="_blank">out with a broken wrist</a>, to return as swiftly as possible.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Burton's injury - he's <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-goalkeeper-crisis-callum-burton-out-season-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-promotion-championship-blow/blt3963635e1508e134" target="_blank">out for the season</a> with a torn thigh muscle - left Wrexham scrambling for help, but they won't be making a call to Ben Foster after the 41-year-old firmly shut down any idea that he might come out of retirement again to help Phil Parkinson's side. Foster helped the club gain promotion to League Two before <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/ben-foster-retires-five-games-wrexham-season-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney/blt6c2f7a2e189ec6d1" target="_blank">retiring for a second time</a> in August 2023, citing his struggles after conceding 13 goals in four matches.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>"Hell no. Definitely not. Not this time round, no," Foster told <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYG1c4OT-3Y" target="_blank">Will Brazier</a>. "Chomp [Howard] is a good goalie anyway, to be fair to him. It won’t happen again, definitely not."</p>

WHAT FOSTER SAID

<p>Wrexham are level on points with Wycombe at the top of League One after winning four matches in a row, with Phil Parkinson's team chasing a third successive promotion. The Red Dragons will hope to extend that winning run when they host Cambridge on Saturday.</p>
