Wrexham AFC's triumphant march toward League One promotion has hit an unexpected obstacle as midfield maestro Elliot Lee was forced from the pitch during their dramatic encounter with Stockport County.
Promotion Push Disrupted
The Red Dragons, riding high on their back-to-back promotion success, faced their toughest test yet against league leaders Stockport County in a match that promised fireworks - but delivered concern for one of their most valuable assets.
Elliot Lee, whose goal-scoring prowess has been instrumental in Wrexham's remarkable campaign, succumbed to injury during the first half of Friday night's crucial fixture, leaving manager Phil Parkinson with a significant selection dilemma.
Parkinson's Tactical Challenge
"We're assessing Elliot now," Parkinson revealed in his post-match comments. "He felt something and we couldn't take any risks. We'll know more in the coming days about the extent of the issue."
The timing couldn't be more concerning for the Welsh club, with Lee having netted an impressive 16 goals this season and establishing himself as a central figure in their attacking strategy.
Playoff Implications
With Wrexham firmly positioned in the promotion conversation and eyeing a historic third consecutive elevation, Lee's potential absence threatens to disrupt their momentum at the most critical stage of the season.
The midfield dynamo's creative spark and goal threat have repeatedly proven decisive in tight encounters, making his fitness a primary concern as the playoff picture begins to take shape.
Wrexham supporters now face an anxious wait for medical updates, hoping their star performer can return to action swiftly to help secure what would be an extraordinary achievement for the Hollywood-owned club.
