Crystal Palace captain Jason Puncheon reported for training as normal on Monday despite being charged for his role in a street brawl during the early hour of Sunday morning.
Puncheon has been charged with assault and having a weapon — understood to be a belt — after being arrested, and subsequently charged, in relation to an incident outside nightclub Mishiko, in Reigate, Surrey.
Witnesses said the 31-year-old footballer was arrested after getting involved in a fight between two girls.
The midfielder missed his side’s victory at Leicester a few hours earlier through illness.
