London, Oct 30: Former Manchester United and Chelsea goalkeeper Mark Bosnich has been arrested on suspicion of assaulting his former girlfriend, police said on Wednesday. Officers questioned the 31-year-old Australian at a West London police station after model Sophie Anderton, 26, was treated in hospital for bruising.
Scotland Yard said Bosnich, who also played for Aston Villa, was released on police bail to December 4. Anderton, who made her name as the public face of underwear firm Gossard, was being looked after by friends, her spokeswoman said. "She is shaken by the whole event, but is out of hospital and is fine," the spokeswoman said. The Football Association suspended Bosnich from the game for nine months in April after he tested positive for cocaine last December. Bosnich joined Chelsea in 2001 on a free transfer from Manchester United but made only seven appearances for the London club before his dismissal.


British newspapers said Bosnich split from Anderton last month after a series of rows. Bureau Report
