Footballers embroiled in an alleged match-fixing scandal which could see Manchester United star Ander Herrera end up in court, have been accused of providing 'inconsistent' and 'contradictory' statements.
It emerged last week the midfielder was facing trial over allegations he was part of a scam to throw a Spanish league game.
Prosecutors are expected to seek a two-year prison sentence and six-year worldwide ban for the 28-year-old and 35 other footballers if convicted of sports corruption in indictments Spanish daily newspaper Marca reported on Wednesday it had been given access to.
Herrera denies any wrongdoing but has been warned he could be ordered into the dock to explain money he received along with eight former team-mates at his old side Zaragoza which prosecutors suspect was passed on to rival players from Levante for deliberately losing the game.
