Two Premier League players arrested over allegation of rape

TWO Premier League players were arrested at the weekend in relation to an allegation of rape, it was announced today.

Police said two 19-year-old men were arrested after a report of a rape was made to them last Friday.

The first man was arrested on Saturday on suspicion of aiding and abetting a rape, while a second man was arrested on Sunday on suspicion of rape, the police said.

Police said that both players, reportedly from the same club, have since been released on bail.

The Premier League introduced mandatory sexual consent training in 2022 for players and staff after a number of serious incidents involving footballers came to light.
