Nottingham Forest defender Jamaal Lascelles has appeared in court over an alleged bar assault.
Lascelles was at Derby Crown Court in connection with an incident earlier this year.
The 21-year-old, who has played for the England Under-21s side, is accused of assault occasioning actual bodily harm at a Derby nightspot on April 23.
Lascelles, of Oakwood, Derby, was bailed to appear back at court on March 11 when he is due to enter a formal plea to the charge.
Sarah Butler, prosecuting, said: "I am told this will be a definite trial," indicating Lascelles intends to deny any wrongdoing.
Judge Jonathan Gosling granted Lascelles conditional bail until his next court appearance, with a preliminary trial date set for the week of Monday April 27.
