Trouble For King And Maybe Rooney Too

It’s not been a fantastic week for messrs Rooney and King this week as both have fallen foul of the law.

Marlon King, the Wigan Athletic striker currently on loan at Premier League surprise package Hull City, has been arrested accused of assaulting  woman in a nightclub on Sunday evening. King, who scored the winner for the Tigers in their 2-1 win over Middlesbrough on Saturday, was arrested on Wednesday when he voluntarily attended a police station.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said a 20-year-old woman was allegedly assaulted at the Soho Revue Bar, in Brewer Street and King has been released on bail until February.

On the other hand Rooney could fall foul of Uefa following an incident during Man Uniteds Champions League clash against Aalborg. Rooney scored the equaliser as United drew 2-2 with their Danish counterparts at Old Trafford, yet has been accused of making a dangerous tackle by Aalborg’s Kasper Risgard, which could have left him seriously injured, yet went unpunished by the referee.

I don’t know what happened but he was jumping on my chest,” said Risgard. I think he was a little bit frustrated. Anywhere else but here [Old Trafford] and it would have been a red card.”

Although the French official Laurent Duhamel did not see the incident but if European football’s governing body decides to take action Rooney could face punishment which may lead to him missing the last 16 stage in February.
