- Striker injured against Manchester United
- Had been out of action for two months
- Set to make his first appearance of the season
WHAT HAPPENED? Mullin feared for his life after suffering that punctured lung against Manchester United in pre-season and it wasn't clear as to when he would make a return. The day has finally come, however, as the striker finds himself on the bench for Wrexham's League Two fixture against Doncaster. It's a timely return as well, given the Welsh side have endured a slow start to life back in the football league, winning two, drawing three and losing one of their six games thus far.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Mullin played a massive role in getting Wrexham back into League Two after a 15-year absence. He netted 38 goals in 46 National League outings last term and his return comes just a day after the club completed the signing of veteran striker Steven Fletcher, who has an abundance of Premier League experience with the likes of Wolves and Sunderland.
