Wrexham forward Elliot Lee has resumed training but will not feature against Mansfield Town in League One on Sunday, says manager Phil Parkinson.

Lee was involved in a road traffic collision on his return home after helping Wrexham beat Bolton Wanderers 1-0 in the EFL Trophy on 11 February.

The 30-year-old missed Wrexham's last two games after suffering bruising to his ribs in the incident, which Parkinson says left the player "very shaken up".

"Elliot was back on the grass this morning, running," Parkinson told BBC Sport Wales.

"I think the weekend will be too early for him but it's just good to have him back out there.

"Obviously we were concerned about Elliot and the trauma of the crash etc. The last couple of days he's felt better and he's been back with the lads doing the warm-up on the training pitch.

"It's a great lift for everybody to see him back out there."
