What happened. Cardiff City fought back to draw 1-1 with Wrexham in their Championship opener, with Rubin Colwill scoring a stoppage-time free-kick after Kieffer Moore's early goal.

• Colwill came off the bench just after the hour mark.
• He had been struggling with an ankle injury and trained only two days.
• Manager Barry-Murphy admitted he shouldn't have brought him on so early.

“I thought he had a big impact on a big game.”

Colwill's fitness will be managed carefully, with Barry-Murphy stressing he needs to build training volume gradually.
