According to English media reports, England forward Ivan Toney appeared in court on suspicion of assaulting a man at a nightclub in central London and pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Ivan Toney is accused of headbutting and punching a man named Saber Da Silva at a nightclub on Wardour Street in London's Soho district on December 6. At Westminster Magistrates' Court, Toney confirmed his name and age and pleaded not guilty to a charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
