A statement from the club, posted on X, revealed that Lee was involved in a two-car collision while travelling back to his home after playing in the cup tie.

“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 statement read.

“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.”

It continued: “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 is the son of former England and Newcastle star Rob, and has been part of the Wrexham side that has achieved back-to-back promotions from the National League to League One.
