Assault Case Against Steven Gerrard Is Dropped
An assault case against Steven Gerrard - from an alleged incident dating back to December - has been dropped, but the Liverpool captain still faces charges of affray...
Liverpool's talismanic supplementary striker Steven Gerrard is due in court today, yet he will only be contesting one of the two cases levelled against him as the assault charge has been dropped.
Gerrard, 28, will still face a charge for affray, relating to an alleged brawl in a Southport night club on December 29 2008.
Seven men in total will appear in court, Gerrard being one of them, for the reported incidents at the Lounge Inn bar.
Gerrard will submit a formal plea, believed to be not-guilty, and then magistrates will decide whether or not to pursue the case in the crown court.
Marcus McGhee, a 44-year-old businessman, ended up with a missing tooth and suffered facial injuries as a result of the melee.
The Liverpool attack-minded midfielder has been in consistently influential form for the Merseyside outfit this season, and manager Rafa Benitez will be hoping his skipper remains focussed for the remainder of the season's close, as the club continue their pursuit of two major trophies - the Premier League, and the Champions League.
