Wrexham's O'Brien Injured: Parkinson Cries Foul Play
20 Dec
Summary
- Lewis O'Brien suffered shoulder and knee injuries from a tackle.
- Manager Phil Parkinson deemed the challenge 'high' and 'dangerous'.
- Ethan Galbraith received a yellow card for the incident.
Wrexham's manager, Phil Parkinson, has voiced strong criticism following a tackle by Swansea City's Ethan Galbraith that resulted in injuries to Wrexham midfielder Lewis O'Brien. O'Brien sustained damage to both his shoulder and knee during the incident, which occurred during Wrexham's 2-1 loss to Swansea on Friday.
The midfielder, who previously excelled on loan at Swansea, had only been on the field for seven minutes as a second-half substitute before being forced off. Parkinson described the tackle as "high" and "dangerous," indicating that Galbraith was "very lucky not to get red" for his actions.
Despite the severity of the injury and Parkinson's strong reaction, Galbraith was only shown a yellow card by the match official. The incident has left Wrexham facing a spell without O'Brien and has raised concerns about player safety and disciplinary actions in matches.
