  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Mendy suffered a hamstring injury that ruled him out of action towards the end of March. He then underwent surgery over the summer and is now slowly regaining fitness to make a comeback to the Wrexham first team. Along with the Gambian, Paul Mullin is also back in training after he underwent a minor spinal surgery.
