Ivan Toney, a 30-year-old England striker, appeared in court and pleaded not guilty to charges of assaulting a man in a London nightclub. The alleged incident occurred on December 6 last year at a nightspot on Wardour Street. Toney, who plays for Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia and previously represented England at the World Cup, will face a trial in 2028.
During a five-minute hearing at Southwark Crown Court, Toney formally entered a not guilty plea to the charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, following a confrontation. Judge Christopher Hehir set a provisional trial date for June 12, 2028, expressing regret over the lengthy delay due to the court's heavy workload. Toney was released on unconditional bail.
The Euro 2028 soccer tournament, held from June 9 to July 9, will be co-hosted by England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland.
