Wrexham AFC's promotion push has hit a stumbling block after midfielder Ollie Rathbone suffered an injury during training. The 27-year-old, who joined the club last summer, is now facing a spell on the sidelines, leaving manager Phil Parkinson with a selection headache.
Hollywood co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have reportedly reached out to Rathbone to wish him a speedy recovery. The actor duo, known for their passionate support, have been vocal about their commitment to the club's success both on and off the pitch.
What Happened to Rathbone?
The exact nature of Rathbone's injury hasn't been disclosed, but sources close to the club suggest it could keep him out for several weeks. This comes at a crucial time for Wrexham as they continue their fight for back-to-back promotions.
Parkinson's Midfield Dilemma
With Rathbone unavailable, Parkinson may turn to young prospect James Jones or consider changing formation ahead of Saturday's crucial League Two fixture. The manager told reporters: "Ollie's been fantastic for us this season. It's a blow, but we've got good depth in the squad."
Fans have taken to social media to express their support for Rathbone, with many sharing messages using the hashtag #GetWellSoonOllie. The former Rochdale captain has become a fan favourite since his arrival at the Racecourse Ground.
