CNN —Wrexham striker Paul Mullin had to leave the pitch while receiving oxygen after suffering a punctured lung in the first half of the team’s 3-1 win over Manchester United in San Diego. It was an ill-tempered affair for a preseason friendly and Mullin was forced off after just 20 minutes following a late challenge by United goalkeeper Nathan Bishop. “It was a clumsy, reckless challenge in a preseason game and I’m not happy with it at all,” Parkinson said. “Wishing you the speediest recovery and hope to see you back scoring goals as soon as possible!”Nathan Bishop apologized after this challenge left Paul Mullin with a punctured lung. Despite only earning promotion from the fifth to the fourth tier of English soccer last season, Wrexham has become a global sensation after being taken over by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
