Liverpool defender Jon Flanagan has been arrested and charged with common assault following an incident during the early hours of December 22.

Police were called to an incident in the city at 3.20am, which occurred in Duke Street, and it led to the arrest of the 24-year-old, who has been at Liverpool since 2010.

The full-back has been formally charged with Section 39 Common Assault and will appear in court next week after being given conditional bail.

A spokeswoman said: "Merseyside Police can confirm that Jonathan Patrick Flanagan, aged 24, from Cressington in Liverpool has been charged with Section 39 common assault following an incident on Duke Street in Liverpool city centre at around 3.20am on Friday, December 22."

Flanagan has made just one first-team appearance all season, which came in a defeat to Leicester City in the EFL Cup in September.
