Wrexham star striker Paul Mullin suffers punctured lung in clash with Manchester United keeper Nathan Bishop during pre-season friendly in the US
Bishop tweeted an apology immediately after the game.The challenge “should have been a straight red,” said Parkinson. “If it’s not denying a goal-scoring opportunity it’s still a dangerous challenge so if you add the two scenarios together he should have been off the pitch. It’s a dangerous challenge and obviously Paul Mullin is our talisman.”
Wrexham later tweeted an image of Mullins in a hospital bed, writing: "An update from SPM, we’re all behind you Mulls!”Bishop was substituted at half time. Wrexham went on to beat a young United side mainly comprised of Under-21 players 3-1 at a sold-out Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego."Obviously, there's a challenge in the first half when Mullin gets injured, we hope he's alright.
"It's part and parcel of the game, nobody wants to see anyone get injured. He's made an honest challenge, he's come off worse. He's already reached out to him. "Booing him, it is what it is. He's tried to reach out. He's a great lad Bish, he hasn't got a bad bone in his body."
