A Derby County footballer has shared a police appeal after his girlfriend was left needing stitches after being "attacked several times by a man and a woman".

Louie Sibley posted on Twitter on Sunday evening to say his "innocent" partner was left unconscious after she was assaulted in an "unprovoked attack" in Nottingham city centre.

The young midfielder shared a photo of the bloodied victim and said the man had "knocked her out" after he "dragged her to the ground" and "slammed her up the wall".

On Tuesday, Nottinghamshire Police posted two CCTV images of four people they are tracing after Sibley reported the assault.

In the appeal shared by footballer, the force said the victim was assaulted in Upper Parliament Street at 2.08am on Sunday.

"After reviewing the footage in detail, we have identified four people who we believe may have information that could help our inquiry and I urge them to come forward."
