Sinclair was defended by manager Dean Saunders after the game

Wrexham will not appeal against Frank Sinclair's four-match suspension following his red card in Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Altrincham at the Racecourse.

The veteran defender saw a straight red for a first-half challenge on Tom Kearney that left the Altrincham man with a double break of the leg.

Immediately after the game, Wrexham manager Dean Saunders said that the club would appeal against the card.

"It was a block tackle but [Sinclair] got the ball," said Saunders.

"I seriously think that something has to be done about the standard of refereeing.

"I have to say that Tom Kearney's a great lad and no-one likes to see that happen. I'll be trying to speak to him.

"But I know Frank has not meant any harm to him. Frank slid in and he's said that Tom kicked the bottom of his foot and it's just connected on that spot.

"I think because [the referee] has been watching Match of the Day he's jumped on it straight away and sent Frank off.

"[I thought two Altrincham players] were going to get red cards but they never."
