Joey Barton today pleaded not guilty to attacking his former Manchester City team-mate Ousmane Dabo in a training ground fight.
Barton, 24, who left City for Newcastle United in a £5.8 million deal at the end of last season, appeared at Trafford Magistrates' Court to face one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
The England midfielder "strenuously denied" the allegation.
The charge carries a maximum sentence of five years in jail if he is found guilty.
The incident is alleged to have happened at City's Carrington training ground on May 1, after which Barton was arrested. He was also suspended by City, never playing for them again.
He is now out of action for Newcastle after fracturing a metatarsal in his left foot during a pre-season friendly last month.
Barton was given unconditional bail and ordered to appear back at Trafford Magistrates' Court in Manchester on October 4 at 9.30am.
Prosecuting, David Alcock described the incident as a "vicious attack".
Barton, who was using crutches, spoke to confirm his name and address and to enter a plea. The brief hearing lasted ten minutes.

From the evidence of the photo graphs it must have been some very large movable door frame that just happened to appear on the Carrington training pitch that Dabo walked into for Barton not to be guilty. Of course the rest of the Man City team saww nothing thats why he was suspended and find by the club. What a waste of court time.
Come on Barton just put your hands up and take the punishment!

Was his nose that shape before hand? IF not send him down but otherwise take the tape off his eye it looks more painfull than the other one.

this guy has celotape on his eye and a black eye the size of a small insect, what a joke, seen worse injuries in a school playground tussle.

How do we know that Dabo didnt provoke Joey?? Everyone always believes its always Bartons fault, but its not proven
Natalie, sandy, beds
Yes, how on earth he can claim it didn't happen I don't know. I'm very much looking forward to hearing his defence! He should've admitted it and he'd have got away with a suspended sentence and community service.
Helen, Leeds, UK
Barton deserves to go down for what he did here. Look at the state of Dabo's boat. If this happened in the street he'd be in jail already.
