Stoke striker Ricardo Fuller was arrested over the weekend over what the Premier League club calls "an incident in a nightclub."

Stoke says that Fuller was arrested by police in the early hours of Sunday in the Hanley suburb of Stoke.

Fuller had played in Saturday's 3-0 win over Blackburn without scoring.

Fuller scored 11 Premier League goals in 2008-09 but has just one in 22 games this season.
