Paul Mullin collided with Man Utd goalkeeper Nathan Bishop during a pre-season clash in San Diego.
Wrexham forward Paul Mullin has admitted to ignoring medical advice following his long-awaited return from injury.Mullin, who required oxygen from medical staff and received seven minutes of treatment before walking off the pitch, was later diagnosed with a punctured lung.."I was told by one specialist that it could have been six months . That would have been the end of the world for me.
"It has been the first injury to keep me out longer than a week. It has been pleasing to score but I know I’ve still got to work as hard as I can to make me feel as good as last year."The former Swindon and Tranmere forward also revealed that he'd been told by medical staff to wear protective padding on his chest following his punctured lung."I was meant to wear it for a few weeks," he added."But I’d rather take the pain and play in discomfort.
"In that struggle for breath, with my lips turning blue, I accepted that this could be it for me. That's how it felt. I couldn't breathe properly for a few minutes.""For someone like me who will do that kind of thing again and again, being winded is something I'm used to. It usually lasts around 10 seconds and is never nice. Only this time, I couldn't shake it.
