Huge Wrexham injury blow! Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's League One promotion hopefuls rocked as Max Cleworth suffers ankle ligament damage in Leyton Orient draw

During Wrexham's 0-0 draw with Leyton Orient, Cleworth was substituted late in the second half as he was seemingly carrying an injury. Now, per Richard Williams of the Wrexham Leader, Phil Parkinson has confirmed that the defender has sustained ankle ligament damage, and Wrexham now face an anxious wait to discover the extent of the issue.

Cleworth has been in excellent form for Wrexham at the start of the season, scoring three goals from centre-back to aid their cause. The Welsh club have only lost once this term in League One and sit second in the table.

Cleworth was replaced by Dan Scarr, who made his League One debut for the club. He is likely to be relied upon to fill the void left by the stricken defender, so will have to get up to speed quickly.

While Wrexham await confirmation of Cleworth's injury, they will face Stevenage on Tuesday before meeting Northampton Town next weekend.
