A 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.

“The Club will be making no further comment at this stage.”

Lee joined Wrexham from Luton Town in 2022 and has since made 134 appearances.

The midfielder has also played for the likes of West Ham and Barnsley.

He made two Premier League appearances for the Hammers and was loaned out five times – to Southend United, Luton, Blackpool and twice to Colchester United.
