Peru midfielder Nolberto Solano has been arrested on suspicion of
rape.
Solano, who plays for second-tier English club Leicester, was
released on police bail after being arrested at his house in
Newcastle on Monday after an allegation was made by a 22-year-old
woman.
Solano's lawyer, Simon McKay, says he "denies the allegation
fully."
Solano became the first Peruvian to play in the Premier
League when he joined Newcastle in 1998 from Boca Juniors.
