CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — University of Illinois linebacker Martez Wilson has left an Urbana, . hospital after surgery for two stab wounds.

Illinois sports information director Kent Brown says the 19-year-old Wilson left the hospital Tuesday. Wilson is expected to fully recover from the injuries.

Wilson, a sophomore from Chicago, was hurt during a fight at a Champaign bar near the Illinois campus early Friday.

Brown says Wilson was helping friend and former teammate D'Angelo McCray. McCray transferred from Illinois to Eastern Illinois this year.

Police have said the stabbing happened after a group of men surrounded another man at the bar. No one has been arrested.

Illinois coach Ron Zook has said he was proud of Wilson for helping a friend in trouble.
