Another Wrexham transfer question for Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney? Phil Parkinson reveals whether cover will be sought for injured Jack Marriott as timescale put on recovery from broken leg

Wrexham have seen a striker that has four goals to his name this season suffer a broken leg in training. Teams in League One are allowed to bring in free agents until the next transfer window opens in January. Cover could, therefore, be sought for Marriott during his enforced spell in the treatment room.

Parkinson, though, is happy with his options and has no plans to request more funds from Hollywood co-owners. He has said on the back of a 1-0 win at Rotherham: “We have got an outstanding player in Mulls [Paul Mullin] whose performance was brilliant and I thought Ollie was tremendous. Ollie worked tirelessly for the team and kept the ball at the top of the pitch which is so important. We have got options and if someone gets injured, another player gets the opportunity to step-up.”

Wrexham also have Steven Fletcher and Mo Faal at their disposal, having allowed Sam Dalby to leave for a loan spell at Dundee United. They are hoping that Marriott will be back before the end of the season, with Parkinson adding on his untimely injury: “It was a really low day for us all at the training ground on Thursday. Jack struck a ball at goal with no-one near him but his foot went from underneath him and he's broken his fibula so he faces an operation on Monday.

“I'm thinking four months minimum at the moment. It is a serious injury. We feel for him a lot but unfortunately throughout the course of the season, things happen. He has started the season really well but in adversity, sometimes you have got to pull together and we will make sure Jack gets the best possible treatment he can and comes back ready to hopefully contribute before the season finishes.”

Wrexham have cemented their second-place standing in the League One table, as they look to chase down a third successive promotion. With Marriott being ruled out of immediate plans, talismanic No.10 Mullin should see more game time over the coming weeks.
