Everton midfielder Ross Barkley appears to have been punched by a reveller as he visited Santa Chupitos cocktail bar in Liverpool.
CCTV of the incident appears to show Everton and England midfielder Barkley talking to another male near the bar before being punched.
Barkley rests his arm on his shoulder as they exchange words before three punches are thrown in his direction.
The 23-year-old appears to lose his footing after being hit in the face during the violent attack before another male steps in to control the aggressor.
