Ipswich Town midfielder Guirane N'Daw charged with assault

Ipswich Town midfielder Guirane N'Daw has been charged with assault following an incident in Ipswich town centre.

Police confirmed this morning that the 28-year-old, who, at the time, missed the Tractor Boys' 1-0 win over Bolton Wanderers for 'personal reasons', was arrested at Ipswich Hospital on Friday evening after a woman had received treatment for bruising and minor injuries.

N'Daw was charged with assault late last night and will now appear before Ipswich Magistrates' Court on Monday.

A spokeswoman for Suffolk police said the Senegalese player had been detained in custody until that time.

The Senegalese international signed for the Blues on loan from Saint-Etienne in August, and has previously played for Birmingham City.

Another Ipswich player, Paul Taylor, was charged with assault as well earlier this month.
