LONDON (AP) --- England forward Ivan Toney has been charged with assault after
an incident at a nightclub, police said Friday.
Authorities said Toney was charged July 31 with assault "causing actual bodily
harm." The alleged incident took place in December at a nightclub in the Soho
district of London.
Police did not immediately give any other information about what happened.
BBC Sports said a spokesperson for Toney said the player "acknowledges the
charge and although he is naturally shocked, he looks forward to being given
the opportunity to clear his name in court."
Toney, who plays for Al-Ahli in the Saudi Arabian league, is expected to appear
in court on Sept. 24.
The 30-year-old Toney was a member of England's squad that finished in third
place at the World Cup last month.
