Football news LIVE: Lisandro Martinez injury, Liverpool boost after Chelsea

Today marks 34 years since the Hillsborough disaster.

After a near miss in 2022, National League big-hitters Wrexham are close to returning to the big time, but promotion will have come at a significant cost.

Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney completed their takeover of the non-league club in 2021 with a view to earning promotion to the Football League and kicking on from there. The Red Dragons, who last played league football in 2008, lost in the promotion play-offs last season but are closing in on automatic promotion this time around.

Victory in a top of the table clash against Notts County moved Phil Parkinson’s side one step closer to ending the season on top of the pile, but success has come at no small financial cost.

HERE, Mirror Football looks at how the money has been spent.
