Wrexham fear keeper Burton's season over
- Published
Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson has revealed goalkeeper Callum Burton could miss the rest of the season due to injury.
Burton suffered a torn thigh injury early on in Wrexham's 1-0 win over Barnsley in midweek.
The 28-year-old missed Saturday's 1-0 win at Burton Albion and Parkinson said: "It's very bad news, I'm so disappointed for him.
"It's going to be a long injury, it could be the season."
Former Plymouth keeper Burton had been handed his chance after Arthur Okonkwo was ruled out for six weeks with a broken wrist.
In his place, veteran Mark Howard made his first league start in over 12 months.
Wrexham have signed Brad Foster as goalkeeper cover on a short-term deal but Parkinson is eager to bring in another keeper.
"We're looking at the goalie situation all the time," Parkinson added.
"We've got three keepers out if you count Luke McNicholas.
"I thought Mark did brilliant again today. He's an experienced keeper and he did really well in difficult conditions.
Elliot Lee scored Wrexham's winner direct from a corner against Burton - a victory which sees Parkinson's side go joint top of League One with Wycombe.
The game at the Pirelli Stadium was played in difficult conditions on a day in which sport in Wales was wiped out by Storm Darragh.
Despite the horrendous weather conditions, over 1,600 Wrexham travelled to Burton and Parkinson said: "Amazing, just amazing.
"Coming out of Wales with how bad the weather's been and to get that support today and the way they backed the lads was outstanding.
"I'm pleased for every single one of them who made the jpourney."
