Premier League footballer Steven Pienaar will not face charges after being accused of assaulting a woman, police have said.

The Everton midfielder, 26, was arrested on Sunday morning after presenting himself at a police station in Liverpool.

It followed a report of an alleged assault at a flat in the Sefton Park area of the city.

Merseyside Police said today there will be no charges against the Johannesburg-born footballer and he will face no further action.

The South African international is currently injured after suffering a broken toe.
