Wrexham injury update emerges regarding 22-year-old after Leyton Orient draw

Wrexham will get the defender checked out to assess how long he could potentially be out of action for.

Cleworth, 22, went off in their most recent League One away clash at Leyton Orient as they ended up drawing 0-0.

Parkinson has said, as per a report by The Leader: “It is his ankle ligaments but the extent of it, we won’t know until later. We just hope Max isn’t too bad but injuries happen. That is part and parcel of football.

“You have got to cope with them and we have got good players like Dan Scarr who has been outstanding in everything he has done since he has walked in the building. We have got Lewis Brunt who has obviously been waiting for his opportunity as well, we have got Will Boyle and George Evans can play there.

“Of course we want everybody available and fit but the reality is you are going to get injuries throughout the course of the season.”

Wrexham will be hoping that Cleworth isn’t sidelined for too long. However, as Parkinson alluded to, they have depth in his position and other options to play instead of him such as Dan Scarr, Will Boyle, Lewis Brunt and George Evans if needed.
