They are due to appear before New York Country Criminal Court on December 8, two days after Collingwood’s preseason training program is scheduled to begin.

De Goey will not be permitted to train or play with Collingwood or make use of club resources, staff or facilities while legal proceedings continue.

Police said all parties involved in the incident were intoxicated and were not previously known to each other.

The New York Police Department said the 37-year-old man suffered pain and swelling to his lips and body, and the 35-year-old woman was not injured but was described as distressed.
