LIVERPOOL, England: Everton midfielder Steven Pienaar was arrested following an alleged assault on a woman.
Local police were called to the Sefton Park area of Liverpool early Sunday morning. Pienaar, a South Africa international who has played at Everton since July 2007, voluntarily visited the police later the same day and was arrested.
Merseyside Police said that a 26-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of assault and released pending further inquiries.
Pienaar initially joined Everton on loan from Borussia Dortmund before signing a three-year contract in April. He is out of first-team action because of a broken toe.
