WREXHAM’S clash with Barrow was delayed for ten minutes as medical staff dealt with a head injury suffered by David Worrall.

The Barrow ace, 33, was involved in a clash of heads in the 11th minute after winning the ball in the air.

David Worrall had to be stretchered off during the first halfRex

Doctors raced on to treat the stricken star.

After ten minutes of on-field treatment Worrall was stretchered off and replaced by Luca Stephenson.

Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds quickly took to social media, writing: “Hoping David Worrall is okay.”

The Canadian, 47, followed up with two prayer emojis.

Barrow went into today’s match in fourth, trailing Wrexham by just one point.

They got off to a great start at the Racecourse Ground, with Kian Spence prodding them in front just 33 seconds into the contest.

Pete Wild’s side then suffered the devastating blow of losing Worrall to his nasty-looking head knock.

The match eventually resumed in the 21st minute.

At the end of the initial 45 the referee added on a further 14, taking into account the delay for Worrall’s treatment.

Experienced forward Steven Fletcher equalised for the home side nine minutes into time added on at the end of the first period.

And in a cruel twist for Barrow, Paul Mullin then gave Wrexham the lead in the 11th minute of added time.

Worrall is among Barrow’s most versatile players, having played at right-back, left and right midfield and even up top this season.

He played 21 times so far this term, and had laid on three assists in his last two appearances prior to today.
