Wayne Rooney's brother-in-law has been arrested over the alleged bar brawl which led to Steven Gerrard, the Liverpool and England footballer, being charged with assault.
Anthony McLoughlin, the brother of Rooney's wife Coleen, was questioned on suspicion of assault on Tuesday in connection with the fight in Southport.
Gerrard, 28, was charged with two other men after the incident at the Lounge Inn, in Southport, Merseyside, in the early hours of Dec 29.
Marcus McGee, 34, a businessman and part-time DJ, lost a tooth and needed stitches to the head after the fight which is said to have flared after Gerrard was refused a swipe card to use the music system at the venue.
Gerrard, of Formby, Merseyside, was arrested with five other men and questioned for most of the following day.
The Liverpool captain was later charged with causing assault occasioning actual bodily harm and affray alongside Ian Smith, 19, and 29-year-old John Doran, both from Huyton, Liverpool.
They have been released on bail to appear in court on Jan 23 while three other men arrested at the time have been bailed pending further inquiries.
McLoughlin, 19, was questioned on Tuesday before also being bailed pending further inquiries.
His father, Tony, 49, said that his son had "not done anything".
"Everything is all right, he is out, he is all right," he told the Daily Mirror.
Merseyside Police said: "The 19-year-old male from Huyton who was earlier arrested on suspicion of assault following the incident at the Lounge Inn, Southport in the early hours of Dec 29 has been released on police bail pending further inquiries."
