An unnamed Premier League player was arrested during a training session on suspicion of voyeurism.
The arrest left his teammates stunned, but he was later released without any further action.
A police spokesperson confirmed the arrest, stating: “A man in his 20s was arrested at an address, on suspicion of voyeurism. It was determined no further action would be taken due to insufficient evidence.”
The player returned to training on Thursday and is expected to be available for selection in the FA Cup third round this weekend. According to a source quoted by The Sun, the incident shocked everyone at the club.
“A lot of stars initially thought it was a prank when two uniformed officers strode on to the pitches during training. Everyone was in disbelief,” said the source. “Players were open-mouthed. No one was sure what was going on.”
The club has declined to comment on the incident when contacted by The Sun.
