A Championship game was suspended and the players have returned to the changing room following a medical incident involving a supporter in the audience.
Wrexham’s Championship match against Norwich City was called off owing to a medical issue.
The game at the Racecourse Ground was delayed just minutes into the second half due to an incident involving a spectator. With the score at 1-1, the players returned to their dressing rooms as the spectator was attended to. The game has since restarted after the individual was attended to.
Wrexham’s statement on their X page read: “Due to a medical emergency in the crowd, the game has been paused and the players have left the field.”
Norwich also announced on social media: “The referee has halted play due to a medical emergency in the crowd.” “Our thoughts are with those affected.”
Norwich’s subsequent post stated: “The game will restart after a five-minute warm-up for both teams.” Our warmest wishes are sent to the supporter who required medical help.”
A Wrexham fan took to X to discuss the incident that occurred near where he was sitting. “Medical incident was on my row a short distance away,” the fan remarked.There was some concern at first, but the gentleman was aware and should be well after receiving prompt treatment from paramedics.”
Fellow fans extended their best wishes to the involved supporter. One person commented, “Praying for everyone involved.” A second person remarked, “Sad, hopefully they are okay.” Another added: “Let us remember them in our prayers. “I’m glad first responders and staff were there to help.”
