Klasnic: Arrested on suspicion of rape

Bolton Wanderers' Croatian striker Ivan Klasnic has been arrested and bailed on suspicion of raping a 17-year-old girl.

Police were called by the alleged victim at 5am on Monday. She claimed she had been attacked at the star’s flat in Deansgate, Manchester city centre.

The German-born Croatia international scored his first Premier League goal of this season in the 2-1 victory over Stoke at the Reebok Stadium two weeks ago but was then sent off.
Klasnic fell under the media spotlight when he became the first international footballer to have received a kidney transplant.

His mother stepped forward to donate one of her kidneys but, just a month later, the star was back in hospital again after his body started to reject it.
He underwent a second successful operation in March 2007, this time with one of his father’s kidneys.
