Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson is self-isolating after testing positive for Covid-19.
Parkinson, who was named Wrexham boss in July, missed the 4-0 friendly win over Fleetwood Under-23s on Tuesday.
Assistant manager Steve Parkin took charge of the National League team in Parkinson's absence.
"He felt it was necessary for the safety of the group to take a test because a felt a bit under the weather," Parkin said.
"Nothing serious, but it came back positive so he's got to have a little break for a while."
Jake Hyde scored twice at Fleetwood with Paul Mullin and Jordan Ponticelli also on target.
Wrexham are away to National League North side Spennymoor Town in another pre-season friendly on Saturday.
