My iPhone was stolen and I erased my data, which also erased my Apple Card information. I purchased a new phone, but can’t seem to add my Apple Card information to my new wallet app. How can I fix this?

How can I add my existing Apple Card to the wallet app in my new phone after erasing my old phone after it was stolen?

iPhone SE
