Footballer pleads not guilty to assaulting woman
A footballer has pleaded not guilty to assaulting a woman, causing her actual bodily harm.
Former Bournemouth and Liverpool player Jordon Ibe, 30, is accused of attacking the woman in Lambeth, south London, on 14 December.
The former England under-21 international, from Chislehurst, south-east London, was bailed by Croydon magistrates to appear again for trial on 14 July.
Ibe joined Liverpool in 2012, making 58 appearances in all competitions, before spells at Derby County, Birmingham City and 92 appearances for AFC Bournemouth between 2016 and 2020.
The Metropolitan Police previously said he was arrested at Luton Airport on 30 January.
The winger played two years of non-league football before moving to his current team Lokomotiv Sofia in the Bulgarian First League in November 2025.
