Leicester City forward, Ahmed Musa, has been released without charge after his arrest in the early hours of Wednesday on suspicion of beating his wife.
Officers arrived at Musa’s home just hours after Leicester’s 2-0 win over Sunderland on Tuesday night, a match which the 24-year-old didn’t play in.
A statement by Leicestershire Police on Thursday morning, however, read: “A 24-year-old man arrested on suspicion of common assault has been released with no further action.
“The man was arrested from his home address near Leicester yesterday morning.”
A Leicester City statement said: “We are aware that Ahmed Musa has today (Wednesday) cooperated with a police inquiry relating to a disturbance in the early hours of this morning.
“The inquiry has since been closed and no further action is to be taken.
“We see no reason for formal action internally, though Ahmed will be given the opportunity to discuss the matter with football management when the squad returns to training on Friday.”
The Super Eagles star, signed by the Foxes for £16million last summer, was quizzed by police for two hours on suspicion of common assault.
He has played just 14 minutes of football since Craig Shakespeare replaced Claudio Ranieri as Leicester’s manager in February.
Musa took to Instragram on Wednesday to wish a woman believed to be his new lover a happy birthday, and did not make reference to his arrest.
