Wrexham midfielder Matt Crowell's hopes of a swift comeback from a knee injury have been shattered by the news that he requires an operation.

The Wales Under-21 international has been sidelined since early January and was hoping to avoid going under the surgeon's knife.

But the Bridgend-born midfielder has been told he must have surgery to correct the problem in a blow to the Red Dragons' hopes of avoiding relegation from the Football League.

Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that reserve striker Alex Darlington broke his tibia and fibula in last week's Pontin's League victory over Chester City at the Deva Stadium.

"Everyone at the club wishes Alex a speedy return to action," read a statement on the club's official website.
