A crucial player for Wrexham has been suspended.
Wrexham will likely be without George Evans for the remainder of the year as the midfielder faces a three-game ban following his red card on Saturday.
Twenty minutes into his team’s League Two match against Colchester on Saturday, the 29-year-old received a yellow card; six minutes later, he received a straight red card. The sending off could rule out Evans, who joined from Millwall during the summer transfer window, for three games.
After the game, Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson expressed his dissatisfaction with the referee’s decision to send George off, saying, “I didn’t think George should have gone in for that challenge in the first one.” He’s shut the boy down. I can’t tell if there was contact in the second one because I’ve only seen it from one perspective. It is disappointing if there was contact, but the less said about the referee, the better. This is George’s first career send-off, and he has been fantastic for us.”
Wrexham defeated Colchester three points in spite of the loss of Evans, who hasn’t missed a League Two game since joining the team. Zach Mitchell and Elliot Lee fired the home run.Wrexham’s schedule for 2023 includes League Two games against Newport, Swindon, and Walsall. On January 1, 2024, the team will host Barrow at home. The Welsh team has a game in hand over the league leaders despite being six points behind Stockport in the standings.
