Wrexham dealt Windass blow in West Brom loss

Wrexham striker Josh Windass appeared to suffer a hamstring injury against West Brom

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson is waiting to discover the extent of Josh Windass' injury after the summer signing was withdrawn during his side's 3-2 defeat by West Bromwich Albion.

The hosts were dealt the blow in the first half against the Baggies as the 31-year-old striker suffered what appeared to be a hamstring injury.

"I haven't spoken to the physio yet, I'll speak to Kev [Kevin Mulholland] in a minute," Parkinson said of the former Sheffield Wednesday man.

"When a player pulls up like that, it's not good."

Parkinson bemoaned his side's lacklustre defending against Ryan Mason's side as they remain without a point in the Championship, following their opening defeat at Southampton.

Lewis O'Brien cancelled out Isaac Price's early opener for the visitors at the Stok Cae Ras, although Jed Wallace and Price struck prior to Sam Smith's consolation in time added on to ensure the Dragons lost for the second weekend running.

"The goals we conceded today were too soft, it's as simple as that," said Parkinson.

"We've just handed them goals today by not dealing with the situation. Football never changes, it's about what happens in and around the boxes."

Watched by co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, Wrexham once again showed they can compete in the second tier after suffering late heartbreak in their league opener at Southampton a week earlier.

Kieffer Moore led the line having recovered from the ankle injury that led to him being withdrawn early on in the second half of the 2-1 loss to the Saints.

"Kieffer did well. I was thinking 70 minutes would be enough for him after the week he's had but he got through the game fine," said Parkinson.

"He's going to be a big player for us and we need to get him some training this week.

"When you've come in late to the club and you've had a week without being on the training ground, we need now to get him back in on Monday morning."

Liberato Cacace was left out of the matchday squad altogether, with Parkinson confirming the New Zealand left-back was absent due to a hamstring issue.

"Libby had a bit of tightness in his hamstring. We weren't going to risk him," added the Wrexham boss.
