Oldham player Hallam Hope was assaulted in the club car park after a match against Chesterfield. He required hospital treatment and looks like missing several weeks of football.
Police investigations are ongoing but an allegation has been made against a Chesterfield player.
Shocking story, especially if it's true that the person responsible is another player.
Wishing him a full recovery, and the maximum legal repercussions for the perpetrator.
If the injuries are bad enough to keep him out for several weeks, it's presumably a sustained attack and/or deliberately targeted to impact his career.
