McClean in road accident on way to Wrexham training

James McClean joined Wrexham from Wigan Athletic in 2023

Wrexham captain James McClean will be assessed by the club's medical team after he was involved in a car accident on his way to training on Wednesday morning.

The League One club confirmed a first-team player – who they did not name - had been involved in a single car accident with no other vehicles involved and that emergency services attended the scene.

The statement added: "The player reported to the club this morning and will undergo further medical checks."

Local media reports named the 35-year-old former Republic of Ireland international McClean as the player who was involved in the accident.

North Wales Police confirmed in a statement that they had received a report of road traffic collision on the A534 in Wrexham, near to Wrexham Golf Club shortly before 09:00 GMT.

The statement added: "Officers and colleagues from the North Wales Fire and Rescue Service attended the incident, which had blocked the road until the vehicle was recovered shortly before 10am.

"No serious injuries were reported from the scene."

Wrexham host League One leaders Birmingham City at the Stok Racecourse on Thursday evening.

Ahead of the game Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson said the EFL need to do more to protect McClean from the abuse the midfielder receives during games.

Footage showed objects being thrown from the stands in the direction of McClean during Wrexham's 2-1 League One defeat at Shrewsbury Town last Thursday.

The former Republic of Ireland international has regularly been targeted by opposition supporters throughout his professional career.
