Tottenham say they are aware of an incident involving Serge Aurier after he was detained by police on suspicion of assault on Saturday.
The Ivory Coast international was taken into custody by police after they were called to his house in Hertfordshire to investigate a disturbance following a heated row between the Spurs full-back and his girlfriend, TV star Hencha Voigt.

Aurier was arrested on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm and spent several hours in custody before being released without charge.
The £23million signing from Paris Saint-Germain was subsequently left out of Tottenham’s squad for Sunday’s 1-0 home defeat to United and the club have now confirmed they have been informed about the incident.
A Spurs spokesman said: “We are aware of an incident concerning Serge Aurier this weekend.”
The 26-year-old has previously been in trouble with the law while on the books of PSG, being convicted of assaulting a French police officer in May 2015 and handed a two-month prison sentence, although that was subsequently appealed.
