LUKE YOUNG has backed midfielder partner Jordan Young to come back fitter and stronger from his long injury lay-off.

Davies sustained medial ligament damage in last Saturday's 4-1 FA Cup second round win against Farnborough and has been ruled out of action for three months.

The 24-year-old, who hails from Coedpoeth, misses his first game tomorrow when National League leaders Wrexham continue the promotion push against York City at The LNER Community Stadium.

Young admits being without Davies, who bagged 21 goals last season to finish as the Reds' second leading scorer behind Paul Mullin, is a huge blow and he is looking forward to seeing his team-mate return.

"Everybody knows the talent and the ability that Jordan has got," said Young.

"What he went through off the pitch personal-wise last year, to play the amount of games that he played but also play to the high level that he did is a testament to himself as a player and as a person.

"He has carried that onto into this season with the ability he has shown.

"The injury has come at a bad time; he was out for a little bit with a niggly injury but was slowly getting back up to speed and he got the start on Saturday only for it to be cut short with an injury that is going to put him out for a few months.

"He will have to deal with that and be strong in himself, and I have no doubt that he will come back fitter and stronger, and be chomping at the bit ready to go whenever he is due back."
