Thomas Partey intends to deny two new allegations of rape. This information was presented to a court.
The 32-year-old footballer was not in court for the initial hearing. He faces two charges related to alleged rapes that occurred in December 2020.
Partey, who previously played for Arsenal, currently plays for Villarreal in Spain.
Full details of the allegations were not provided during the hearing. The court is proceeding with the case based on the charges filed.
The legal process will now involve further steps to address the allegations brought against Partey.
This development follows the formal charging of Partey by authorities last month.
