A man who attacked a former Liverpool player outside a nightclub has been jailed for 18 months in his absence.
Ross Gardner, 32, assaulted goalkeeper Shamal George, 23, and his brother at the Red Door bar in Liverpool city centre on 9 March 2019.
Mr George, who now plays for Colchester United, needed hospital treatment.
Judge Andrew Menary called Gardner, who is believed to be in Spain, a twit for not attending his sentencing hearing at Liverpool Court Court.
He was convicted of two assault offences, one count of affray and one count of racially aggravated assault.

32-year-old Gardner was today sentenced to 16 months in prison for attacking the pair, despite failing to turn up to court.
