Wrexham AFC’s frustrating home defeat to Norwich City has been made even more painful by confirmation that midfield maestro Josh Windass has suffered an injury that will sideline him for the next two weeks. The news comes as a major blow to the Red Dragons, who were hoping to build momentum in front of their home supporters.
Windass was forced off during the clash with Norwich after appearing to pick up a knock in the second half. Initial concerns were evident as the midfielder struggled to continue, and subsequent medical assessments have now ruled him out of action for a fortnight. While the injury is not considered long-term, its timing could not be worse for Phil Parkinson’s side.
Widely regarded as one of Wrexham’s most influential players, Windass has been central to the club’s recent performances. His energy, creativity, and ability to control the tempo of games have made him a key figure in midfield. Losing him, even temporarily, leaves a noticeable gap as Wrexham navigate a demanding run of fixtures.
The defeat to Norwich City already dented morale, with Wrexham unable to convert periods of dominance into goals. Now, the absence of Windass raises fresh concerns about squad depth and midfield balance in the coming matches.
Manager Phil Parkinson is expected to reshuffle his options, potentially handing opportunities to other midfielders to step up during Windass’ recovery. Fans, meanwhile, will be hoping for a swift return, knowing how crucial he is to the team’s ambitions this season.
Wrexham will aim to rally together, but there is no doubt this injury represents a significant setback at a pivotal moment in their campaign.
