In July, the English soccer world was hit by a storm when an anonymous top international footballer was arrested on suspicion of two rapes. Although he was released on bail after the incident, he was unaffected and continued to play in the English Premier League as usual, and was even accidentally selected as a member of the national team to represent England in the World Cup. According to The Sun, the court has granted the player an extension of his bail until next January, allowing him to concentrate on the World Cup.
Due to legal restrictions, the British media could not reveal the true identity of the player involved. The player is accused of sexually assaulting a Spanish woman in the heat of the summer, while another woman has also claimed to have been victimized by the player in 2021. The British police are currently actively gathering evidence and no formal charges have been filed against the player. Internet rumors are swirling with speculations that the player is most likely Thomas Berdy, the central midfielder of Ghana, who are in second place in Group H with three points and are about to battle Uruguay in the next round of the competition to qualify.
