Thomas Partey has pleaded not guilty to two additional rape charges during a court appearance at Southwark Crown Court, relating to an alleged incident said to have occurred in December 2020.
The latest development means the midfielder now faces a total of seven rape charges and one charge of sexual assault, involving four women. The allegations span a period between 2020 and 2022.
During proceedings, the court heard that Partey will remain on bail under strict conditions, including a prohibition on any form of contact with the alleged victims while the case is ongoing.

The trial had initially been scheduled to begin in November 2026. However, reports indicate that the timeline could be pushed back to January 2027 if prosecutors move to consolidate all charges into a single trial.
The case continues to draw significant attention, with further legal proceedings expected in the coming months.
