Manchester City midfielder Ousmane Dabo has reported team-mate Joey Barton to police after he allegedly attacked him during a training session.

The 30-year-old Frenchman required hospital treatment for injuries to his eye, nose and lip following an incident earlier this week.

It is understood Dabo has asked police to press charges against the player.

A spokeswoman for Greater Manchester Police confirmed that the incident had been reported to them.

She added: "Greater Manchester Police has received a report from a 30-year-old man that he was assaulted. Inquiries are ongoing."

Barton was this week suspended until the end of the season by City.
