Joey Barton to remain on remand until March 2027 trial after bail bid rejected | OneFootball

Joey Barton will remain on remand until his trial in March 2027 after a fresh bail application was rejected by a Liverpool court on Monday.

According to L'Équipe, the case is expected to begin on eight March 2027.

Barton, 44, the former Olympique de Marseille and Manchester City midfielder, was arrested over an alleged assault. He is accused of intentionally causing serious injuries to Kevin Lynch, 51, on eight March in Huyton, a suburb of Liverpool.

Police were called shortly after 21:00 to Huyton and Prescot Golf Club following reports of an assault.

The former England international, with one cap, denies the allegations and is due to appear on 11 December for a preparatory hearing.
