Phil Parkinson says Steven Fletcher has a “problem” with a knee injury after the veteran striker missed Wrexham’s 0-0 draw with Huddersfield Town on Tuesday.
Fletcher played the latter stages of his side’s 1-0 win at Rotherham United last weekend, but Parkinson said the 37-year-old had an issue during his appearance off the bench against the Millers.
“He’s got a problem, a real blow for us. It flared up over the weekend,” said Wrexham boss Parkinson.
“It happens and when you have injuries, you’ve got to not moan about it too much because we’ve got other players like Mo [Faal] who has been waiting for his chance.”
The Fletcher blow comes after Wrexham lost top scorer Jack Marriott, who has netted five times in League One this season, for at least four months because of a broken fibula suffered in training.
Parkinson says Wrexham will explore the free agent market in a bid to ensure they have the firepower required to maintain their promotion push.
“We’re looking at that, with Jack’s injury and then Fletch is an additional blow,” he added.
“We’re looking at a couple of options.”
