Cole returns to give evidence

ARSENAL defender Ashley Cole has been ordered to appear for a second day before the Premier League’s ‘tapping-up’ inquiry, deepening his club’s frustration three days before the FA Cup final.

The three-man independent commission will hear from the player at the centre of the scandal after spending much of the opening day listening to evidence from Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho and chief-executive Peter Kenyon.

Cole was available to give his evidence to the inquiry team all day yesterday but it is understood he was not questioned.
