Summarised by MatchPal
Trial date set for June 2028; Toney has pleaded not guilty to assault charges from December 2025.
England striker Ivan Toney will face trial on 12 June 2028 at Southwark Crown Court over the alleged assault of a man at a Soho nightclub. The 30-year-old has pleaded not guilty to attacking Saber Da Silva at 100 Wardour Street on 6 December 2025. He is accused of headbutting and punching Da Silva during a confrontation. The charge was announced in July following a Metropolitan Police investigation. Judge Christopher Hehir acknowledged the significant delay, citing pressure on crown courts and a massive backlog of cases. Toney was released on unconditional bail after Thursday's hearing.
