Last night saw Wrexham take on Manchester United in a much-heated affair. The match had everything from aggressive tackles to red cards and goals galore. The match was won 3-1 by the Red Dragons but they suffered an important loss in Paul Mullin, who punctured his lung in the 12th minute.

From the initial assessment, it is quite clear that the talisman won’t be available for a while. But Wrexham captain Ben Tozer is confident that the Irishman will return back stronger than ever.

“What you can say about him is that he will have the bit between his teeth when he does get back,” said Ben Tozer. “I probably fear for the defenders in our league because he’ll come back with a point to prove.”

The Red Dragons captain then hoped that Mullin returns ASAP as he was key to their promotion last season. “Let’s hope he does that sooner rather than later.”

Quipped again about the potential return date, the gaffer said he had no clue except the fact that Mullin will be missing the start of the season. “We’ve no idea, as yet, as to how long it will be. He’s out for the start of the season,” informed the Englishman.
