WHAT HAPPENED?
The Red Dragons are set to face Bournemouth and Chelsea on the west coast, before then heading to the home town of Hollywood co-owner Ryan Reynolds for a meeting with MLS side the Vancouver Whitecaps. Prolific striker Mullin will play no part in those fixtures after undergoing surgery.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
The sight of Lee being forced out of a friendly date with non-league outfit Hanley Town suggested that he may also struggle to make an eagerly-anticipated trip across the Atlantic. The all-action midfielder was left nursing a thigh strain in a convincing 5-1 victory for Phil Parkinson’s side.

WHAT PARKINSON SAID
Parkinson has sought to ease those fitness concerns, telling The Athletic that Lee’s ailment is “nothing serious”. The 29-year-old will be on the plane to the States, along with Tom O'Connor, Lewis Brunt, Will Boyle and Jacob Mendy – who have also been nursing knocks.

WHAT NEXT FOR WREXHAM?
Wrexham are eager to get minutes into as many players as possible ahead of the 2024-25 campaign, as they prepare for a step up into League One, with Reynolds and Rob McElhenney continuing to make the funds available that allow more forays into the transfer market to be made.
