Scunthorpe United defender Jonathan Gjoshe is in hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after the mass stabbing on a train in Cambridgeshire on Saturday, the club said.
Gjoshe was one of the victims of the terrifying attack on a train travelling on an LNER train bound for London.
The BBC report that the 22-year-old was slashed across the bicep and had to have an operation in hospital.
A statement from Scunthorpe reads: “Scunthorpe United can confirm registered player Jonathan Gjoshe was one of the victims affected by the shocking attack on an LNER train bound for London on Saturday evening.
“We can confirm that Jonathan sustained non-life-threatening injuries as a result of the attack, but currently remains in hospital. Due to the ongoing investigations taking place, we are currently unable to update further.
“Everyone at the club, from the Board, management and his teammates, along with all staff behind the scenes, sends our heartfelt well wishes to Jonathan for a full recovery, which is also extended to all the victims on board the train.”
Anthony Williams, 32, appeared in Peterborough Magistrates’ Court charged with ten counts of attempted murder in connection to the Huntingdon train attack.
