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 stated 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.

Wales take on Bosnia and Herzegovina in the semi-finals at Cardiff City Stadium on 26 March.

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 the Red Dragons, 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 set-back doing his rehab which is just a huge blow for him and us,” Parkinson stated of the New Zealand international.

The 33-cap Kiwi, 25, has been restricted to just 11 Championship appearances this season.
