London, Dec. 30: Liverpool and England footballer Steven Gerrard''s career with the national team is not in danger after he was charged on Tuesday with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and affray following an argument over music being played in a restaurant that allegedly escalated into a violent brawl.
Gerrard, 28, was charged over the alleged fracas in which Marcus McGee, a company director, lost a tooth and needed four stitches to a head wound.
According to The Sun, Gerrard was released from custody at Southport police station almost two hours earlier after police interviewed him and the other five men, aged between 18 and 33 - none of whom are teammates of Gerrard - for most of the day.
