Wrexham footballer James McClean is currently undergoing medical examinations following a car accident. The incident occurred this morning as he was driving his Audi RS6 to training near Wrexham Golf Club. Witnesses mentioned that the 35-year-old’s car seemed severely damaged in the crash, which happened just a day before Wrexham’s important match against Birmingham City in League One.
Reports from social media indicated that McClean’s Audi was wrecked in the collision, and he was seen with a bleeding arm. However, no serious injuries were reported, and no other vehicles were involved in the accident. Emergency services, including police and fire crews, responded to the scene. The club confirmed the incident, stating that it was a single-car accident and that relevant authorities were promptly on-site.
A spokesperson from North Wales Police provided details of the incident, mentioning that it occurred on the A534 near Wrexham Golf Club. The road was temporarily blocked until the vehicle was removed, with no significant injuries reported.
James McClean, a former Republic of Ireland international, joined Wrexham from Wigan Athletic in the summer of 2023 for an undisclosed fee. Known for his time in the Premier League with Sunderland and West Bromwich Albion, McClean has been in the spotlight for his controversial decision not to wear a poppy on Remembrance Sunday. Recently, he faced backlash for remarks made about Shrewsbury on Instagram following a match where he was confronted by opposing fans.
Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson has expressed concerns about the abuse McClean receives and called for more action from the EFL to address the issue. He emphasized the need to protect players from excessive abuse, highlighting the responsibility of football authorities in safeguarding players’ well-being.
