Missing their star man, Wrexham returns to EFL

The season opener was a much-anticipated moment for Wrexham as they returned to the EFL after 15 years. However, as they say, not every fairy tale has a happy ending; MK Dons showed no mercy. The match showed that there is a noticeable gap in quality between League Two and the National League. The visitors, MK Dons, dominated the game, securing a 5-3 victory over promoted Wrexham.

Wrexham’s star player, Paul Mullin, missed the match due to an injury he sustained in pre-season against Manchester United. While the club hopes to have him back soon, he is currently recovering in the US after suffering a punctured lung.
