England and Arsenal great Kenny Sansom 'sitting up in hospital after doctors feared for his life' following head injury suffered in 'drunken row'... but his family have been warned that he is 'not out of the woods yet'

England and Arsenal legend Kenny Sansom is reportedly sitting up in hospital after he was allegedly beaten up in a drunken row.

Sportsmail revealed on Friday that Sansom, a dynamic left back who won 86 caps, is thought to have fallen and suffered a serious head injury during the disagreement. He has been unable to help police with their enquiries while having treatment in the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital and his family are keeping a bedside vigil.

And The Sun now claim he was able to sit up for the first time since the incident on Saturday.
