Leeds may extend ban on Morris
Midfielder Morris was arrested in Surrey on Tuesday, along with a 26-year-old man from London, before being questioned at a police station in West Yorkshire.
A police spokesman confirmed the alleged incident happened some time ago, but only recently came to light during an on-going investigation into a separate matter.
Earlier this month Morris was arrested and bailed by police investigating an allegation that a 20-year-old woman was sexually assaulted in the Leeds area.
On that occasion, Morris was initially detained at the team’s training ground, before later quizzed by detectives at a Leeds police station, along with a second man, prior to his release.
Following a meeting which then followed between Leeds chairman Professor John McKenzie, Morris and his solicitor, the club chose to suspend the 24-year-old pending an internal investigation.
That suspension comes to an end today but it is anticipated Morris will be informed that a further ban is to be imposed, likely to be at least seven days.
That would result in Morris missing Saturday’s trip to Liverpool and next Tuesday’s Carling Cup clash against Manchester United at Elland Road.
Leeds, meanwhile, are close to finalising the appointment of Trevor Birch as chief executive, with a number of details to be finalised over the next few days.
It is expected Birch, who was formerly with Chelsea, will officially be appointed next Tuesday when Leeds make public their latest year-end accounts.
