"I'm in my workplace and I feel I should never feel threatened in that workplace... I wasn't waiting for him to make the first swing. So I did. Somehow, there were four male Cardiff fans - late 20s, early 30s. They recognised me [and] immediately started running their mouths off at me. I ignored the first jibe. The second, I responded to and I confronted them about it. Words were said. One of them, a tall chap with glasses, made a hostile move towards me."
"I had a chat with James on the evening and it's been dealt with,"
"That's it. No more to say on that tonight."
James McClean punched a Cardiff City fan after feeling threatened by supporters prior to the EFL Cup meeting at the Stok Cae Ras on 28 October. McClean described being verbally provoked by four male Cardiff fans who recognised him and one making a hostile move. Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson said he spoke with McClean that evening and the club considers the matter dealt with. North Wales Police said no reports were received. McClean missed the Portsmouth match due to a hip injection as the club managed his fitness ahead of the weekend fixture.
