England and Al-Ahli striker Ivan Toney pleads not guilty to club assault
Footballer Ivan Toney pleads not guilty to allegations he headbutted and punched a man at a London nightclub.
England striker Ivan Toney appeared in court and pleaded not guilty after being accused of headbutting and punching a man at a nightclub in London last year.
The 30-year-old Toney, who represented England at FIFA World Cup 2026 and plays for Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia’s Saudi Pro League, will face a trial in June next year over the alleged assault.
During the five-minute hearing at Southwark Crown Court in London, Toney formally entered a not guilty plea to a charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm following a confrontation at a night spot on Wardour Street on December 6 last year, the Press Association [PA] news agency reported.
A provisional trial date was set for the same court on June 12 by Judge Christopher Hehir, who apologised to Toney about the delay.
