Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo is at the centre of a
police probe after an Everton fan claimed he was stamped on during
a match.
Merseyside Police on Friday confirmed they are speaking to
witnesses and studying CCTV to establish precisely what happened
during Saturday's match at Goodison Park when Everton faced
Manchester United.
Carl Lloyd, 34, told the Daily Post newspaper that the Portuguese
winger sank his studs into his right arm.
The joiner alleged the incident happened during the Premier League
clash as he leaned over the advertising hoardings to retrieve the
ball when it went out of play.
Mr Lloyd, of Wallasey, Merseyside, said he needed hospital
treatment and said: "I've been in excruciating pain. I don't know
if I'll work again any time soon. I couldn't believe what
happened.
"All I was doing was trying to retrieve the ball."
A spokesman for Merseyside Police confirmed Mr Lloyd had made an
official complaint and the investigation is ongoing.
