Bizarrely, on sm, main concern is that player involved is not from their team. Lads checking out age profile of their squad and trying to identify possible suspects and bandying names about without jot of evidence.
No concern for alleged victim.
That's par for the course these days unfortunately.
Some further details have emerged about the location (5 star resort on the Mediterranean) and it was also noted that the victim showed investigators pictures of bruising.
Ultimately by far the most important thing here is that justice is done. That's beyond debate.
But with the excessive delays in the UK courts these days it could easily be the bones of a season that a player could potentially be unavailable for. This places clubs in a difficult situation where they need to take a view on whether the situation is so serious that they need to stand the player down (e.g. Greenwood and that mysterious Everton player who we definitely don't know the name of) or whether the circumstances dictate that they feel comfortable allowing him to play on (e.g. Bissouma).
The player, in his late 20s, was arrested in north London on Monday.
