Wrexham midfielder Elliot Lee suffered no major injuries after being involved in a road traffic accident last night, the League One club has announced.

Lee was taken to hospital following the incident that happened as he made his way home from the team’s EFL Trophy game against Bolton Wanderers at the Racecourse Ground.

The 30-year-old, the son of former Newcastle and England midfielder Rob Lee, played 63 minutes against Bolton before being substituted for Ollie Rathbone.

The club statement read: “Wrexham AFC can confirm that last night, after the Vertu Trophy match against Bolton Wanderers, a first-team player (Elliot Lee) was involved in a road traffic incident when returning home.

“The incident involved one other car and resulted in the drivers of both cars being taken to hospital. Emergency services were quickly on the scene and the club would like to thank them for their prompt response and action.

“The player suffered no major injuries, while the driver of the other vehicle is being treated for their injuries.”

Lee is the second Wrexham player to be involved in a car crash in recent weeks after captain James McClean on January 22.

McClean was uninjured in the incident.
