Burton forward James Ellison is recovering in hospital following a knife attack, the League Two club have confirmed.
The 18-year-old suffered a stab wound to the back during a night out in the Liverpool area on Saturday. The incident is being investigated by police. "James has been involved in an incident whilst he was out with a group of friends," Albion boss Paul Peschisolido told the club's official website. "I have spoken with him since and I am relieved to say that he will be leaving hospital shortly. "I would like to wish James a speedy recovery on behalf of everyone at the football club." Ellison joined Burton in the summer following his release by Liverpool.
