A footballer who smashed a bottle over a man's head in a nightclub has been released from prison on appeal, days after he missed his club debut.
Ryan Inniss, 21, who is on a season-long loan at Southend United from Crystal Palace, was jailed for 14 weeks after he admitted assault.
It meant he was in HMP Belmarsh when his League One club faced Scunthorpe away on Saturday.
A judge has now suspended the sentence for 18 months.
Inniss, of Albemarle Road, Beckenham, south-east London, was jailed at Bexley Magistrates' Court on Wednesday following the assault at Time nightclub in Beckenham on 1 May.
