Former England footballer Andy Carroll is facing trial after indicating a not guilty plea to breaching a non-molestation order.
Carroll, who previously played for Newcastle and Liverpool, entered his plea at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.
The 37-year-old, currently with Dagenham & Redbridge, opted for a trial at a Crown Court rather than a magistrates' court.
He was granted bail and is scheduled to appear at Chelmsford Crown Court on March 4 for a plea and trial preparation hearing.
Carroll played nine matches for England between 2010 and 2012, scoring two goals.
