Ryan Reynolds can sign former Gareth Bale team-mate and Spurs ace as free agents for Wrexham
Wrexham are currently third in League One but their latest victory came at a cost with Andy Cannon suffering a serious injury, meaning they could be forced to look for a free agent
Phil Parkinson could be left with a dilemma following a potentially serious injury to one of Wrexham’s star players.
Midfielder Andy Cannon sustained a knee injury in the first half of the Red Dragons’ 2-1 win over Mansfield Town on Sunday. The result saw Wrexham, owned by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, edge closer to the automatic promotion spots in League One, closing the gap on second-place Wycombe Wanderers to three points after their rivals drew with Wigan Athletic.
Sadly, the triumph was overshadowed by Cannon’s injury, which saw him being administered oxygen and stretchered off the pitch. Post-match, Parkinson said: “We’ve lost Andy and it looks like a bad injury. It looks like a knee injury but we don’t know the extent of it yet.”
Cannon later took to Instagram, expressing gratitude towards fans for their support. As the extent of Cannon’s injury remains uncertain, there might be a need for Parkinson to consider signing a free agent as a temporary solution, given the transfer window being closed.
The approach isn’t new to the former Sunderland and Bolton boss, who took similar action back in October, bringing aboard Matty James and Jon Dadi Bodvarsson. Wrexham currently have space for one more player, following the release of their latest squad list earlier in February.
