Rob Lainton: Wrexham fear goalkeeper has broken wrist

Rob Lainton joined Wrexham on loan from Port Vale before making the move permanent in November 2018
Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson says goalkeeper Rob Lainton suffered a suspected broken wrist during the goalless draw at Bromley.
Lainton was carried off in the second half at Hayes Lane and could now face a significant spell on the sidelines, which is a blow to Wrexham's National League promotion bid.
The 32-year-old has made 28 league appearances this season.
"[It is] a broken wrist I think," Parkinson said.
"It's really unfortunate for Rob. Dibbs (Christian Dibble) came on and did terrifically well for us but it's a real blow."
Lainton was also forced off at Bromley last season, when the game was delayed for a significant period after he was knocked unconscious.
The latest injury came as he made a follow-up save having initially kept out Luke Coulson's shot.
"It was another moment where he has come out really bravely," Parkinson added.
"Unfortunately it looks like there's a price to pay today."
Dibble, 27, has played six times in the league this season.
The Bromley draw leaves Wrexham fourth in the table, 11 points behind leaders Stockport County.
