Thomas Partey will plead not guilty to two charges of rape, a court has been told.
The 32-year-old footballer was charged last month. These new charges follow a court hearing on March 27, 2026.
Partey was absent from the dock for the first hearing. The accusations involve an alleged incident that took place in December 2020.
The court filing indicates that Partey intends to deny any wrongdoing.
He was formerly a player for Arsenal. He now plays for Villarreal, a team in Spain.
Further court proceedings are expected as the case moves forward.
