Harry Maguire's 'sister was stabbed' in Greek brawl: Man U captain is freed and can return to UK while he's tried in absentia for assault amid claims he 'hit cop and fought rival fans who attacked sibling'
Vivek Chaudhary in Mykonos and Anthee Carassava in Athens Manchester United captain Harry Maguire was told that he was free to return to England despite having to face a trial on Tuesday over his alleged role in attacking three policemen while on a night out with pals on the Greek island of Mykonos. Maguire was grilled by a public prosecutor on the neighbouring island of Syros for almost two hours on Saturday morning after spending three nights in a cell there. At the end of his appearance, he was instructed that he could go home and that his lawyers could represent him when his trial gets underway. Maguire, who earns £190,000 per week emerged from court and was whisked into a waiting van and is expected to cut his holiday short and arrive home on Sunday morning in a private jet.

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire is pictured on many of the front pages after his conviction for assault. It's the lead story for the Daily Mirror, Metro and the Daily Star. The Mirror's chief football writer, John Cross, says the defender's international future is in serious doubt after he lost his place in the England squad. The Star says England manager Gareth Southgate was forced into an embarrassing climbdown after initially supporting his player, and his judgement will be questioned.
Harry Maguire's account in BBC interview labelled 'ridiculous' and 'insulting' as Manchester United star refuses to apologise
The lawyer who secured a guilty verdict against Harry Maguire has denounced his “ridiculous” account of how he came to be charged with aggravated assault, resisting arrest and attempted bribery.
Ioannis Paradissis hit out at Maguire following the Manchester United captain’s first interview since he was handed a 21-month suspended prison sentence by a Greek court.
Maguire told BBC News on Thursday that he thought he and others were being kidnapped by fake police in Mykonos and that he had tried to run away in fear for his life after being hit on the legs and told: “You won’t play again.”

The media loves a shamed footballer story and they didn't get it this time. He's not sorry as he feels he has nothing to apologise for. That's fair!
We find out they are on 180k a week thanks to the media so this makes them 'fair game' when they slip up or something happens to them.
