Championship sport suspended as gamers taken from pitch after medical emergency
Wrexham’s Championship clash against Norwich City has been suspended due to a medical emergency.
The game at the Racecourse Ground has been delayed just minutes into the second half after an incident involving a fan.
With the score at 1-1, the players returned to the dressing rooms while the fan is attended to. The game is still currently halted but is set to restart soon after the person was attended to.
A statement from Wrexham 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 posted on their social media account, saying: “The referee has stopped play due to a medical emergency in the crowd. Our thoughts are with those affected.”
An update added by Norwich shortly after said: “The game will restart after a five-minute warm up for both teams. Our best wishes go out to the supporter who required medical assistance.”
A Wrexham fan took to X to explain the situation that occured close to where he was sat. “Medical incident was on my row a short distance away,” the fan wrote
“A bit of panic at first but the gentleman was alert and will hopefully be ok after receiving some speedy treatment from the paramedics.”
Fellow fans sent their best wishes to the supporter involved. One user said: “Praying for everyone involved.” A second commented: “Sad hopefully they are okay.” Another added: “Let’s keep them in our prayers. Glad first responders and staff were there to help.”
