On Wednesday, Greater Manchester Police said Greenwood was released from custody on bail pending further inquiries.
A statement said: “A 20-year-old man arrested (on Sunday 30 January 2022) on suspicion of the rape and assault of a woman has been released on bail pending further investigation”.
The Sun has reported that the England manager has banned Greenwood from playing for the Three Lions until his legal issues are resolved. This is not the first time that Greenwood has had problems in the English national team.
Just a few hours after making his debut for England in September 2020, the Bradford-born player and Manchester City’s Phil Foden were sent home from Iceland after ignoring the COVID protocols. The duo were seen with women in and around the hotel where England were based at the time in Iceland.
After returning to his home in Cheshire (a rented house worth 14,000 pounds a month), the first thing Greenwood did was increase the security around him.
