Wrexham midfielder Elliot Lee was sent to hospital last night after being involved in a road traffic accident while travelling home from their game against Bolton.
The two-car collision saw the drivers of both cars taken to hospital, with Lee, 30, suffering no major injuries as a result of the incident after their 1-0 win in the EFL Trophy quarter-final.
Lee, the son of Charlton and Newcastle legend Rob Lee, played the first 63 minutes of the game as Phil Parkinson's side moved one match from Wembley with Andy Cannon scoring the only goal of the game against the run of play.
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."
The former West Ham youth team midfielder, who made his name at Luton Town, has been an inspired signing for Wrexham. He was named in the National League Team of the Year at the end of the 2022–23 season as Wrexham won the division.
And when the club earned promotion as runners-up in League Two in the 2023–24 season, he was nominated for the PFA League Two Player of the Year and included in the PFA and EFL League Two Team of the Year.
