Bolton striker Ivan Klasnic has been arrested on suspicion of raping a young woman.
The incident is alleged to have taken place in Klasnic’s Manchester apartment earlier this week, and the 30-year-old Croatia international was quizzed by Greater Manchester Police before being bailed pending further enquiries.
A Greater Manchester Police spokesman said: “Police are currently investigating a report of rape in Manchester City centre.
“Shortly before 5am on Monday, October 25 police were called following a report that a girl had been raped.
“A 30-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of rape and released on bail pending further enquiries until November 1.
Wanderers have said they will not be commenting on the allegations made against Klasnic.
