Here is how every Wrexham loanee fared during the latest round of EFL fixtures.

There was no game for Wrexham this weekend as the Championship was on break due to the international fixtures taking place.

The Red Dragons will return to action this coming Saturday with a trip to Stoke City.

Wrexham go into the clash eyeing just their third league win of the season and should, apart from a couple of players who were travelling with their countries this week, be well rested.

But while there has been no Championship football taking place, most teams in the lower divisions, including several with on-loan Wrexham stars, have been in action.

Wrexham loan round-up

Paul Mullin

After an injury issue earlier this month that meant he started on the bench versus Cardiff City, Paul Mullin returned to the eleven for Wigan Athletic over the weekend.

Wigan faced off with Wycombe Wanderers and suffered a 1-0 defeat thanks to Sam Bell’s 35th-minute goal.

Mullin was in from the off, but he was taken off by manager Ryan Lowe after just 45 minutes.

Lowe commented on the Wrexham loanee post-match. He said: “I don’t think he had many chances, if any, and I thought we needed a bit of pace in behind, hence why we brought on Dara (Costelloe). We wanted to change it so we had one coming towards the ball and one going in behind.

“The players need to keep going because when you’re down on confidence, you don’t hit the back of the net. We had three glorious chances and couldn’t put the ball in the back of the net.

“But it wasn’t just Mulls I changed. I brought Raph (Borges Rodrigues) off as well and made another change by bringing Robbo (Luke Robinson) off. Them lads have been struggling a bit with injury; hence, why they didn’t start potentially.”

Modou Faal

Modou Faal’s Port Vale drew 1-1 with AFC Wimbledon on Saturday afternoon.

Faal did not start and was only brought on for the final minute of the fixture.

The centre-forward is still searching for his first League One goal of the 2025/26 campaign.
