Sheffield United striker Oli McBurnie has denied a charge of assault by beating after an incident following the Blades’ Sky Bet Championship play-off semi-final loss to Nottingham Forest.
The Scotland international entered his not guilty plea to the amended charge on Thursday during an appearance at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court.
He previously faced one count of common assault. The charge alleges the 26-year-old assaulted Forest fan George Brinkley by beating on May 17 at the City Ground in Nottingham.
Wearing a white shirt and a black tie, McBurnie spoke only to confirm his name, address, date of birth and his not guilty plea during a short hearing.
