Ryan Reynolds has released a statement on social media after Paul Mullin suffered a punctured lung in Wrexham's big win over Manchester United.
Wrexham beat Man United 3-1 in San Diego on Tuesday as Elliot Lee, Aaron Hayden and Sam Dalby all got on the score-sheet in their friendly victory.
But the League Two side's win over the Premier League outfit was marred by Mullin's injury, which saw him replaced in the first-half.

He clashed with goalkeeper Nathan Bishop, resulting in a punctured lung for the 28-year-old forward.
The game was paused for seven minutes as the player received treatment before being forced off.
He was transported to hospital, where he provided an update. On Instagram, he wrote: "Thank you for all your messages! All good here!"

Hollywood owner Reynolds has also shared his thoughts on Mullin's injury.
"Paul Mullin puts his last drop of blood into everything he does. The entire @Wrexham_AFC community is pulling for a speedy recovery," he tweeted.
In another tweet, the 46-year-old actor thanked Man United for the opportunity to play against them.

"Massive thanks to @ManUtd for the incredible opportunity to play against a legendary Premier league side," he wrote.
Mullin's injury, though, left a sour taste in Phil Parkinson's mouth as he slammed Bishop for his 'clumsy' challenge.
Speaking after the result, he said: "I mean, listen, Mulls has got a small puncture in his lung, he’s in hospital at the moment. But it’s a clumsy challenge from the goalkeeper and, for me, there’s no need to make it.
"It’s a straight red. The reason it’s a straight red, and even if the ref said to me that maybe there’s a covering defender, it’s a dangerous challenge.

"If you add those two situations up, he should’ve been off the pitch. Listen, it’s a massive blow for us to lose Paul. He’s an outstanding player."
