Wrexham captain James McClean was involved in a car crash on Wednesday, on his way to training with the League One club.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The former Republic of Ireland<\/a> international will be assessed by Wrexham’s medical staff following the incident.<\/p>\n

Wrexham<\/a> confirmed that a first-team player was involved in a single-vehicle accident with no other people involved and that emergency services attended the scene.<\/p>\n

The club did not name McClean as the player involved, but local media reports confirmed his identity.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Wrexham said:\u00a0“The player reported to the club this morning and will undergo further medical checks.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, North Wales Police confirmed in a statement that a road traffic collision had been reported to them on the A534, close to Wrexham Golf Club.<\/p>\n

The crash is said to have taken place a short while before 9am on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

No Serious Injuries After James McClean Car Crash<\/h2>\n

Details of the incident are not yet known, but James McClean’s<\/a> status is not thought to be serious.<\/p>\n

The police 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.<\/p>\n

“No serious injuries were reported from the scene.”<\/p>\n

Wrexham’s next fixture is on Thursday night, when they host League One leaders Birmingham City at the Stok Racecourse ground.<\/p>\n

Manager Phil Parkinson has said the EFL must do more to protect James McClean from the abuse he has suffered during games this season.<\/p>\n

During Wrexham’s 2-1 defeat at Shrewsbury Town last week, footage showed objects being thrown at McClean from the stands.<\/p>\n

Having long been very outspoken on Irish issues while playing in the UK, McClean has been a target for abuse from opposition supporters for the majority of he professional career.<\/p>\n

With 103 caps for his country, McClean has spent time playing for Sunderland, Stoke, Wigan and West Brom after moving to England from Derry City in 2011.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
