The timing could not be worse, with Wrexham entering a demanding run of fixtures across league and cup competitions.
Phil Parkinson, speaking after the medical update, struggled to hide his emotions. The Wrexham boss praised the player’s commitment and influence, describing him as “irreplaceable” both on and off the pitch.

While the four-week layoff is a significant setback, Wrexham remain hopeful of a swift recovery. The club’s medical team will take no risks, prioritising the player’s long-term fitness. For now, Wrexham must dig deep, turn disappointment into motivation, and continue their remarkable journey—doing it for their sidelined star.
