England international Zak Hardaker has been dropped by Leeds Rhinos after it emerged that he is involved in a police investigation.

The 23-year-old, along with teammate Elliot Minchella, are expected to be interviewed by police over the alleged assault of a 22-year-old man in Leeds on 3 February.

"The club have been made aware of an incident in which it is alleged that Leeds Rhinos players Zak Hardaker and Elliot Minchella were involved," the club said in a statement.
