Do Arsenal have questions to answer over Thomas Partey?

The Sports Agents

Gabby Logan brings you an exclusive interview with the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Lisa Nandy. As the final stages of the Football Governance Bill were read in the House of Commons today - will fans finally get more control over owners? How will the government use sport to tackle the obesity and mental health crises in this country? And what are they doing to protect athletes like Emma Raducanu from stalking?

And after ex-Arsenal player Thomas Partey was charged with rape and sexual assault - charges which he denies - we speak to The Telegraph's Tom Morgan, about whether Arsenal now face some difficult questions over their decision not to suspend the player while under serious investigation.

If you or someone you know has been affected by rape or sexual assault, support is available. You can contact Rape Crisis on 0808 500 2222 or The Survivors Trust on 0808 801 0818 or online for confidential help.
