Former Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has pleaded not guilty to two additional rape charges during an appearance at Southwark Crown Court in London.
The new charges are linked to an alleged incident said to have occurred in December 2020.
With the latest development, Partey is now facing a total of seven rape charges and one charge of sexual assault involving four women, over allegations spanning between 2020 and 2022.
The Ghana international was granted continued bail under strict conditions, including an order barring him from contacting the complainants.
According to reports, his trial, originally scheduled for November 2026, may be postponed until January 2027 if all charges are merged into a single proceeding.
