Merseyside Police are investigating video footage that appears to show Everton and England midfielder Ross Barkley being punched in the early hours of Monday morning at a Liverpool bar.
Barkley was pictured in CCTV footage of the altercation just hours after playing in Everton's 4-2 win over Leicester City at Goodison Park.
The 23-year-old is seen engaged in conversation with another, unidentified man who then swiftly throws two punches. Barkley falls to the floor while the man is dragged away.
