Everton midfielder Ross Barkley is clear to face Burnley after his nightclub assault last weekend.

The Sun says contrary to claims, he was NOT knocked out – which would have sidelined him for Saturday's visit of Burnley.

And after being assessed by club medics as he arrived for training on Monday, Barkley was swiftly given the all-clear to play.

Barkley, 23, and the rest of the first team went through a light warm-down session, as is normal the day after a match.

There is no question of him being disciplined by Everton, as he was not in breach of any club rules.
