Striker’s Summer Setback
Wrexham’s sharpshooter Paul Mullin is set to miss the team’s highly anticipated pre-season tour in North America following spinal surgery. The prolific forward, known for his goal-scoring prowess, has been sidelined due to a persistent lower back and hamstring issue, which has necessitated medical intervention.
Missing North American Action
Fans in the US and Canada will be unable to witness Mullin’s talents during the glamorous pre-season fixtures arranged by Wrexham’s Hollywood owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. The team is scheduled to face off against prominent clubs including Bournemouth, Vancouver Whitecaps, and Chelsea, but Mullin’s absence will surely be felt.
Setback for Wrexham’s League One Start
The 29-year-old striker will also be absent for the commencement of Wrexham’s new season in League One, following their successful promotion. Wrexham’s official statement has confirmed the necessity of the surgery after conservative treatments were deemed insufficient for Mullin’s ongoing injury concerns.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
Undergoing the surgical procedure in London in mid-June, Mullin aims to regain fitness in time to contribute significantly to the 2024-25 campaign. While the club has not provided a specific timeline for his return, the focus is on a thorough rehabilitation process with the club’s medical team to bring him back to peak condition.
History of Injuries
This isn’t the first time Mullin has faced injury woes; he previously missed the start of last season in League Two due to a severe collision resulting in a punctured lung and fractured ribs. Despite the setbacks, Mullin has an impressive record of 105 goals in 140 matches for Wrexham and harbors aspirations of playing for the Wales national team.
Challenging League One Campaign Ahead
Wrexham’s upcoming League One season is slated to begin on August 10 with a home game against Wycombe Wanderers. The team will also contend in the Carabao Cup against Sheffield United and face a series of challenging matches throughout August, including encounters with Bolton, Reading, and Peterborough.
