Liverpool defender Jon Flanagan has been charged with common assault after he was arrested on Friday.
Flanagan, 24, was questioned by police officers after they were called to an incident that took place in Liverpool city centre in the early hours of Dec. 22.
Following the inquiries, Flanagan was charged with Section 39 Common Assault and released on conditional bail ahead of an appearance at Liverpool Magistrates' Court.
A spokesperson said: "Merseyside Police can confirm that Jonathan Patrick Flanagan, aged 24, from Cressington in Liverpool has been charged with Section 39 common assault following an incident on Duke Street in Liverpool city centre at around 3.20am on Friday, December 22."
Meanwhile, a Liverpool spokesman said the club were "aware of the alleged incident", but would be making no further comment "while the process is ongoing with the relevant authorities".
Flanagan has made just one appearance for Liverpool's first team this season after returning from his loan spell at Burnley in 2016-17.
