"The 32-year-old was charged last month with two counts of raping a woman on a date in December 2020. At Westminster Magistrates' Court on Friday, Partey was not in court as Deputy Chief Magistrate Tan Ikram dealt with the preliminary stages of the case. The footballer had been excused from the hearing, but his lawyer, Emma Fenn, indicated he intends to plead not guilty to both charges."
