Stoke City winger Jermaine Pennant will face no further action after being arrested for alleged assault a fortnight ago.
The former Liverpool player was detained by Greater Manchester police on suspicion of assaulting a woman in a nightclub.
The authorities have confirmed that the case regarding the alleged incident has been dropped, which took place just hours before Pennant collided with a silver Audi while driving his BMW while under the influence of alcohol.
Pennant was hit with a drink-driving charge following the crash.
