Chelsea forward Callum Hudson-Odoi has been arrested following a late night row with a woman during the early hours of Sunday morning.
Metropolitan Police officers attended reports of an incident at Odoi’s apartment after being called by the woman in question with an ambulance also at the scene.
Hudson-Odoi, 19, was arrested by officers and taken into police custody.
And according to a police spokesman: “Police and London Ambulance Service were called at 03:53hrs on Sunday 17 May to a report of an unwell woman.”
The officers confirmed the woman was taken to hospital and a man, who was arrested at the scene, remained in police custody.
Police returned to Hudson-Odoi’s property on Sunday to continue their investigations into the matter.
According to reports, Hudson-Odoi met the woman online and invited her to his home, sending a vehicle to collect her. Neighbours of Hudson-Odoi told The Sun that his acquaintance was ‘very glamorous’ before the property was ‘crawling with police’.
The report says that Hudson-Odoi was said to have asked the woman to arrive at his property wearing lingerie and that the pair exchanged flirtatious messages beforehand.
Hudson-Odoi neighbours told the same publication that the model was ‘very glamorous’ and that she carried a Louis Vuitton bag.
Meanwhile, Chelsea were contacted by Sportsmail for comment, though news of Hudson-Odoi’s arrest had filtered back to players and staff at the Stamford Bridge club during Sunday afternoon.
Hudson-Odoi was one of the first footballers in the UK to confirm he had been infected with the Covid-19 in March, but is due to return to group training by the end of the week provided his tests allow him to.
His arrest adds to a string of misdemeanours by Premier League stars during the coronavirus lockdown.
Manchester City right-back Kyle Walker got into trouble for hosting a sex party during lockdown, and is facing disciplinary action from the Premier League champions.
Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish was fined by his club for visiting a friend just hours after telling fans to ‘stay home’ in March.
And Wolverhampton Wanderers youngster Morgan Gibbs-White is also facing disciplinary action from the west midlands club for attending a London party with Love Island stars.
