Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge could be facing a ban from football after being charged on Monday with breaching rules on betting.
England's Football Association said the alleged breaches took place in January 2018, when Sturridge was on loan from Liverpool at West Bromwich Albion.
Liverpool reacted by saying the 29-year-old Sturridge has "stated categorically that he has never gambled on football."
"Daniel has given his full and unequivocal cooperation throughout this process," Liverpool said in a statement, "and has assured the club he will continue to do so."
