“Fractured 4 Of His Ribs” – Turned Down $50 Million Rich Rob McElhenney’s Offer, Paul Mullin’s ‘Brutal’ Injury Revealed by Wrexham’s Ben Foster

On the 26th of July, Manchester United squared off against Wrexham AFC in what turned out to be an epic encounter. The match had everything from goals to heated exchanges between both sides. Unfortunately, one of the negative outcomes of the entertaining duel was the horrific injury suffered by Red Dragons’ talisman Paul Mullin.

The immediate assessment post-match revealed the Englishman to have punctured lungs. Upon hearing the assessment, Red Dragons co-owner Rob McElhenney offered Mullin his house to stay till his treatment was completed. While the Englishman’s decision to deny the offer was understood by many, Ben Foster’s recent revelations about the gravity of Mullin’s injury have made people believe maybe he should’ve actually taken up the offer from Rob.

In a recent episode of ‘Fozcast’; Ben Foster revealed the reality of Mullin’s injury. He vividly explained why things turned out the way they did. “The reason why Paul Mullin did so much damage – and the damage he did was brutal, by the way – was because he didn’t know the goal,” said Foster in the podcast.

Foster then continued the narration revealing the harsh extent of impact Mullin received. “He was there when he’s headed the ball. He just fractured four of his ribs and then punctured it along. The reason why he did all of that damage was because he didn’t know the goal was there,” said Foster in a somber tone. Based on the injury, it does look like a lengthy layoff for Mullin. Foster however gave more insights on the recovery period.
