Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson described the challenge that led to Mullin's injury as "wreckless". 

““It is a real blow for us, you can’t hide away from that," he said.

"I thought it was a clumsy challenge from the goalkeeper and it should have been a straight red. If it is not denying a goalscoring opportunity, it is still a dangerous challenge.

“So, if you add the two scenarios together, he should have been off the pitch. It was a dangerous challenge and Mulls is our talisman."

He added: “I’m fuming with it, I have to be honest about that. It was a clumsy, reckless challenge in a pre-season game. I can’t say any more than the fact I’m not happy with it at all.”
