Wrexham’s James McClean says he threw a punch at a Cardiff City fan before last week’s all-Wales Carabao Cup tie, confirming that he was acting in self-defence after being confronted in the car park outside Wrexham’s stadium.
McClean confirmed to TalkSport that the incident took place before last Tuesday’s tie, with the Republic of Ireland international alleging that he was approached by four Cardiff fans in the players’ car park.
McClean said that the Cardiff supporters “started running their mouths off” and he felt “threatened” after one of them made a move towards him.
