Double blow for Wrexham as injuries and defeat dent play-off bid

Wrexham's promotion hopes suffered a heavy blow after a 2-0 defeat at Millwall, a result that saw the Red Dragons fall behind one of their play-off rivals and pick up two injuries in the process. The Welsh side started with momentum and pressed high, looking to move the ball quickly through midfield, but clear chances were limited.

Their best openings came from wide areas and set pieces, yet the final touch was often lacking. The turning point arrived midway through the second half when Wrexham were caught on the break and punished, and an equaliser never truly looked on the cards. Matty James and Liberato Cacace were both forced off, one in each half, with the first withdrawal disrupting midfield structure and the second removing a focal point in attack.

The club say they will assess both issues in the coming days, but the early indication is that neither problem is minor.
