Wrexham, Birmingham Lose Championship Matches with Rising Injury Concerns

Wrexham's struggles in the Championship continued as they suffered a 3-1 home defeat to Queens Park Rangers, with co-owner Ryan Reynolds in attendance. The match featured an own goal by Conor Coady, a powerful strike from Richard Kone, and a decisive finish by Rumarn Burrell, putting the game beyond doubt despite a header goal from Wales striker Kieffer Moore. Wrexham's goalkeeper Danny Ward was sidelined for about four months due to a serious elbow injury, leading to Arthur Okonkwo stepping in. Manager Phil Parkinson emphasized that the team needs time to improve, especially after failing to secure their first home league win despite recent summer signings and a prior victory over Millwall. The defeat marked Wrexham's third loss of the season, highlighting ongoing challenges as they adjust to the Championship's demands. Meanwhile, other Championship teams like Sheffield United and Birmingham City also faced defeats, underscoring the competitive nature of the league.
