"An international footballer has been arrested in central London on suspicion of assault and affray after an incident in the early hours of Saturday in the West End. Police said they were called at 00:47 GMT following reports of an assault. Officers arrested a 29-year-old player at the scene on suspicion of two counts of assault and one count of affray. He cannot be named for legal reasons."
"The alleged victim was taken to hospital with injuries that police said are not believed to be life-changing or life-threatening. The player has been released on bail while enquiries continue. Police have confirmed that the investigation remains active. In the UK, the name of someone arrested is rarely released or confirmed by police. This practice followed the Leveson Inquiry in 2012, which stated that arrested suspects should only be identified in exceptional and clearly defined circumstances."
