Scunthorpe United defender Jonathan Gjoshe is in hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after the mass stabbing on a train in Cambridgeshire on Saturday.
Footballer Gjoshe, 22, was among the victims hurt in the attack on the LNER train from Doncaster to London.
In a statement released on Monday, the club said: “Scunthorpe United can confirm registered player Jonathan Gjoshe was one of the victims affected by the shocking attack on an LNER train bound for London on Saturday evening.
“We can confirm that Jonathan sustained non-life-threatening injuries as a result of the attack, but currently remains in hospital. Due to the ongoing investigations taking place, we are currently unable to update further.
“Everyone at the club, from the Board, management and his teammates, along with all staff behind the scenes, sends our heartfelt well wishes to Jonathan for a full recovery, which is also extended to all the victims on board the train.”
Gjoshe, 22, joined the professional club, who play in the National League, the fifth-tier of the English football league, in September.
A Nottingham Forest fan was also among the victims and has spoken of the horrific ordeal.
Stephen Crean, 61, was returning home from watching his team draw 2-2 with Manchester United in their Premier League match, when a young woman ran through his train carriage yelling "knife, knife, there's a man with a big knife".
He said he "didn't have much choice" but to fight back against the attacker, as he recalled defending himself with nothing but his fists.
He said the knifeman asked if he wanted to die before he felt the knife in his arm.
"He asked me, 'Do you want to die?'," he told PA.
"He repeated it. Then I remember his knife going into my arm."
Images showed him with his injuries.
Anthony Williams, 32, appeared at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court on Monday charged with 10 counts of attempted murder in relation to the train attack.
He is also charged with one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and one count of possession of a bladed article.
An LNER staff member is in a critical but stable condition in hospital following the stabbings on the high-speed service, while four other people remain in hospital.
Separately, Williams is charged with one count of attempted murder and possession of a bladed article over an incident at Pontoon Dock DLR station in London in the early hours of Saturday, where a victim suffered facial injuries after being attacked with a knife.
Williams appeared in the dock in handcuffs with four security officers alongside him, and spoke to confirm his name, age and address.
He was not asked to enter pleas and when asked his address mumbled "no fixed abode".
It is understood he is not known to the security services or counter-terrorism policing, and had not been referred to the government anti-extremism scheme Prevent.
Williams will appear at Cambridge Crown Court on December 1.
Saturday's attack is understood to have started shortly after the train left Peterborough station.
Passengers pulled the emergency alarms on the LNER service and it was diverted to Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire.
