The Sevilla defender Kike Salas has been arrested by police for allegedly deliberately getting booked so that his friends could win bets. The 22-year-old was detained by police in Seville on Tuesday and subsequently released without charge having exercised his right to silence.

He remains under investigation and will be called before an investigating judge for questioning. According to Spanish law and the rules of the football federation he could face the loss of his licence for two to five years and a jail sentence between six months and three years, as well as a fine between €3,006 and €30,051 (£25,275)
