In 2023–24, Wrexham hopes to make another FA Cup run, although the competition has lost them Aaron Hayden due to the defender’s injury.
Consequently, what happened?
Hayden, who has recently had a lot of bad luck with his fitness, did not last longer than fifteen minutes in a second-round match at SToK Racecourse against Yeovil. When Phil Parkinson saw him drop to the ground, he decided to make an early tactical adjustment.

After Ollie Palmer scored the game’s first goal, Hayden went down. The Red Dragons were happy to take the lead, but they were also disappointed that a crucial component of their defensive strategies had to be abandoned.
WERE YOU AWARENESS?
James Jones took Hayden’s position as Parkinson adjusted the plan of attack that had been drafted before the game began. Jones was more comfortable in the middle of the park, so George Evans was urged to steal into the back four and make the most of his adaptability.
FUTURE PLANS FOR HAYDEN?
Although co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are providing more funding, Wrexham will have the option to use the January transfer window if reinforcements are needed at the start of the season. Wrexham will be hoping that Hayden’s injury is not too serious and that he can return to action soon.
