What happened. Ivan Toney's assault case was adjourned by a week, with the Al-Ahli striker now due at Westminster Magistrates' Court on October 1. He was charged with assault causing actual bodily harm on July 31 over an incident in a Soho nightclub on December 6.

• A delay request was received on Wednesday night, a court official said.
• Toney had been due in court on Thursday to face the allegation for the first time.
• The 30-year-old joined Al-Ahli from Brentford in August 2024 for £40million.

“Ivan acknowledges the charge and although he is naturally shocked, he looks forward to being given the opportunity to clear his name in court.”

Toney's first hearing will now take place on October 1, where he is expected to respond to the charge.
