Wrexham has been fined by the English Football League for fielding two ineligible players this season, the club announced Wednesday.
Issa Kaboré‘s documentation was not submitted properly to the EFL ahead of the match in which he featured against Birmingham City on Aug. 28, meaning he was not eligible for the fixture. Wrexham lost the game 2-1 at home.

Callum O’Hare was included in the matchday squad for the 3-0 win over Millwall on Sept. 2, even though he hadn’t been registered in time to be eligible after joining from Sheffield United the day before. He was an unused substitute for the game.
Wrexham, owned by celebrities Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac, said it had “reached an agreed decision with the EFL” concerning the two breaches and had been fined £75,000 ($100,000).
Of that sum, £25,000 ($33,000) was suspended.
“The club is taking the appropriate steps to prevent such issues occurring in the future,” Wrexham said in a statement.
