James McClean Says He Punched Cardiff Fan in Self-Defence in Wrexham Players’ Car Park

Police are not investigating as Wrexham reviews how away supporters entered a restricted parking area.

Overview

  • McClean told talkSPORT he struck one man after four Cardiff supporters confronted him before the October 28 Carabao Cup tie at the Racecourse Ground.
  • His account says the exchange turned abusive and he hit first when one individual made a hostile move toward him.
  • Wrexham said the incident was reported to the relevant authorities and declined further comment while internal checks are carried out.
  • The Cardiff supporter involved is not pursuing the matter and North Wales Police are not conducting an investigation.
  • The episode comes against the backdrop of long-running abuse directed at McClean over his refusal to wear a poppy, for which the EFL previously granted protective measures.
