Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson left fuming as Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney's side set to lose key midfielder George Evans to three-match ban

The 29-year-old was shown a yellow card 20 minutes into his team's League Two match against Colchester on Saturday and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/wrexham-survive-madness-george-evans-birthday-boy-elliot-lee-colchester-promotion/blt4e6931e81e30c5e6#csb12abf37bbac09c1" target="_blank">was then shown a straight red card just six minutes later</a>. Evans, who joined from Millwall in the summer transfer window, could be out for three matches because of the sending off.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson was not happy with the referee with regards the sending off, saying after the match: "The first one, I didn't think George should have gone in for that challenge. He has closed the lad down. The second one, I have only seen it from one angle so I can't see whether there was contact. If there was contact, it is disappointing but the less said about the referee the better. George has been brilliant for us and it is the first sending off of his career."

WHAT PHIL PARKINSON SAID

Despite the loss of Evans, who has not missed a League Two match since joining the club, Wrexham went on to claim the three points against Colchester. Elliot Lee and Zach Mitchell fired the home team to a two-goal lead before the visitors pulled one back late on.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Wrexham will see out 2023 with matches against Newport, Swindon and Walsall in League Two before they kick off 2024 with a home meeting with Barrow on January 1. The Welsh club sit six points behind Stockport in the table, but have a game in hand over the league leaders.
