The English Premier League, together with the Football Association, have published a joint letter calling for the same methods to combat gender-based violence as they do in the United States..

England's football governing bodies call for players to be suspended from teams without pay if they are suspected of violence.

The letter also calls for the mandatory study by all staff of each football club of the provisions relating to gender-based violence, disciplinary procedures and the prevention of sexual misconduct..

It is noted that the Scottish Raith Rovers signed a contract with David Goodwilly, but after only a week he was forced to terminate the contract with the player after public pressure, as he was found guilty in 2017 of violence against a girl..

The only thing that is not indicated in this letter is whether the unpaid wages of the football player will be returned if he is found not guilty by the court..

Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood has been released on bail pending trial over charges brought against him by his ex-girlfriend..
