Ivan Toney, an England striker, has entered a not guilty plea to charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm following an alleged incident at a London nightclub on December 6. The 30-year-old appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Thursday, confirming his name and age before pleading not guilty. Toney faces allegations of headbutting and punching Saber Da Silva during the incident on Wardour Street, Soho.
District Judge Briony Clarke decided to hear the case at the magistrates' court, but Toney opted for a trial at a Crown Court with a judge and jury. Toney was released on unconditional bail and is set to appear at Southwark Crown Court on October 29. The allegations have not been proven in court, and Toney maintains his innocence.
