Wrexham suffer huge blow in Championship promotion race | OneFootball

Wrexham have confirmed key midfielder Ben Sheaf is set to miss the rest of the season through injury.

Sheaf picked up the injury during the 5-3 win over Ipswich at the weekend, and had to be taken off early in the second half.

The Englishman has played 28 league games this season and started 24 of those.

Manager Phil Parkinson said: “Ben’s not looking good, and it’s a real blow for us. As much as there was an excitement after winning from myself and the staff’s point of view, I always had that in the back of my mind.

“I didn’t feel it was going to be good news, and he sees a specialist tonight in London, but the initial prognosis is it’s a ten-week injury.

“He damaged his medial ligament and Ben’s really unlucky because it was just a blocked tackle and he just opened up his knee.

“But things happen like that in football and injuries are part and parcel for the individual and for the squad as a whole, and we move on.

“Ben will get the best possible treatment and come back strong but from our point of view, it’s opportunities for other players.”
