A statement read: "Merseyside Police is aware of
footage online reportedly showing an assault in a
bar in Liverpool city centre.
"No report of an assault has been received but
officers are making enquiries to establish the
circumstances of the incident."
Barkley's lawyers also released a statement, which
read: "We can confirm Ross was the victim of an
unprovoked attack by a stranger who approached
him on Sunday evening."
Attacking midfielder Barkley, who won the most
recent of his 22 England caps in November 2015,
had played in Everton's 4-2 Premier League victory
at home to Leicester City on Sunday.
Everton have been also contacted for comment.
