Some footage is being circulated which indicates Ross Barkley was attacked in a bar at the weekend.
Everton’s midfielder is shown speaking to an unnamed man, who quickly turns on the England international and hits him – before surrounding men intervene and split the pair.
There’s no indication as to whether Barkley was badly hurt, as he quickly becomes out of shot, but it looks like he was put the floor.
The Everton midfielder would have been out celebrating his team’s 4-2 win over Leicester City, which keeps them nine points behind ourselves.
