## Summary

Wrexham have been fined £75,000 by the English Football League after two players were deemed ineligible for matches this season. The case concerns missing Home Office right-to-work documentation, and the club says it is taking steps to prevent similar administrative errors.

Issa Kabore came on during a 2-1 defeat by Birmingham on 28 August, while Callum O’Hare was an unused substitute in a 3-0 win at Millwall on 2 September. Both had joined Wrexham on permanent three-year deals in the summer; £25,000 of the fine is suspended. The club, 17th in the Championship after 12 games, is understood to be improving administrative training and hiring a club secretary.
