Phil Parkinson confirms Wrexham will be without George Evans for 'months' as midfielder to undergo surgery in huge blow for Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney's side

League One

Stockport County

Wrexham

The 29-year-old suffered the injury in <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-red-dragons-suffer-defeat-to-stevenage-birmingham-league-one/blt04ccdf4d926a7e05" target="_blank">Wrexham's 1-0 loss to Stevenage Tow</a>n on Tuesday, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/phil-parkinson-wrexham-injury-blow-george-evans-stevenage-defeat/blt7d98713215c7aa3c" target="_blank">manager Parkinson describing the setback as a "huge" injury blow</a>. The former Millwall man is now set for an extended period on the sidelines.

WHAT HAPPENED?

He said, via <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5818191/2024/10/04/wrexham-george-evans-injury/" target="_blank">The Athletic</a>: "All we can do is get the operation done as quickly as possible and give him the best rehab going forward. What we’ve been told is the surgeon, when he has a look inside, will understand the extent of the damage more so they don’t want to put a timescale on it until the operation. But it will be months with George."

WHAT PHIL PARKINSON SAID

While this is a blow for the Red Dragons, Evans has not been a regular in Parkinson's side this season - with just one of his five League One appearances being as a starter. Moreover, they are still second in the table and are in an excellent position after nine matches. Despite that, losing a player to injury is never a good thing.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Wrexham will look to return to winning ways in League One on Saturday afternoon when they host lowly Northampton Town at Stok Cae Ras, before taking on Wolves' Under-21s in the EFL Trophy three days later.
