Spanish cops quiz four West Brom players involved in an ‘incident’

FOUR unnamed West Brom players have been quizzed by cops after allegedly stealing a taxi on a night out in Barcelona. 

The players, who were on a mid-winter training trip to Spain, were said to have stolen a cab from a McDonald’s drive-through and abandoned it outside their luxury five-star hotel.

West Brom has confirmed the ‘incident’ and say they are conducting an internal investigation.

“The club can confirm that four senior players were involved in an incident during this week’s mid-winter training trip to Spain,” read a statement.

“The club has instigated its own investigation into the incident and the players will be subject to the full rigours of our internal disciplinary procedures.

After being dragged out of bed at The One Barcelona hotel the players were hauled off to the police station, which was confirmed by regional Mossos d’Esquadra police.

The alleged incident comes as the team is preparing for tomorrow’s FA Cup fifth-round tie at home to Southampton.
