1 October 2026

England striker Ivan Toney has pleaded not guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm following an alleged confrontation at a London nightclub last December. He is accused of headbutting and punching another man during the incident in Soho.

Toney chose to have the case heard before a judge and jury rather than remain in the magistrates court. He was released on unconditional bail and is due to appear at Southwark Crown Court on 29 October.
