Manchester United captain Harry Maguire will appear before a Greek prosecutor Saturday to face charges of allegedly assaulting police on the island of Mykonos , with his lawyer promising a swift resolution .
“Everything is going well. Maguire denies the charges . If all goes well, we ’ll be done ( today ) ,” Constantinos Darivas told Greek sports website gazzetta.gr .
Darivas added that the England centre – back was in “fine condition” despite spending two nights in detention since his Thursday night arrest .
Maguire will be taken before a prosecutor before midday.
The case is being heard on the island of Syros , the administrative hub of the Cycladic island group that includes Mykonos .
The £80 -million ( 88 – million -euro ) defender was arrested early Friday after what Greek police described as an “altercation ” between two groups of British tourists on Mykonos .
A Greek police statement on Friday said that three men aged 27 , 28 and 29 had been arrested in Mykonos .
Greek state agency ANA identified the suspects as Maguire, his brother and a friend .
The police said an officer was punched on the scene, and that a second fight had broken out at the local police station where the three men “strenuously resisted ( arrest ) , pushing and striking three officers .”
One of the suspects then tried to bribe the officers to hush up the incident , the police said .
The suspects are accused of assault, resisting arrest , verbally insulting and threatening the arresting officers , and attempted bribery , the police said .
Four Mykonos officers sustained slight injuries in the fracas , the authorities said .
Mykonos is popular with sports stars and celebrities for its all – night nightlife and beaches .
United on Friday said in a brief statement they were “aware of an alleged incident involving Harry Maguire in Mykonos last night.”
