London: Chelsea and England player Callum Hudson-Odoi was arrested in the early hours of Sunday here on suspicion of rape but has been released on bail, according to British media reports.
The reports state that the winger was arrested after police responded to a report of an ''unwell woman.''
Hudson-Odoi also broke social distancing rules put forward by the government as a precautionary measure against coronavirus pandemic as he reportedly asked for the unnamed model to come to his house in West London and also sent a car for her.
Police reportedly turned up at Hudson-Odoi's home in London after a woman, whom the footballer invited to his place, called for an ambulance at around 4 am on Sunday.
According to a police spokesman: "Police and London Ambulance Service were called at 03:53hrs on Sunday, 17 May to a report of an unwell woman. When emergency services attended, a woman reported that she was raped. She was taken to the hospital. A man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of rape. He was released from custody and bailed to return on a date in mid-June."
Police returned to the forward's house later on Sunday in a bid to continue their investigations into the matter.
The 19-year-old has been released from custody and bailed to return to a police station in mid-June.
Chelsea are yet to comment on the incident.
Hudson-Odoi was one of the first athletes in England to test positive for coronavirus before the Premier League was abruptly halted in March.
He later took to social media to announce that he had recovered just days after being tested positive for the virus and is eager to get back on the pitch.
"Hi guys, as you may be aware I had the virus for the last couple of days, which I've recovered from," he had said in a video uploaded on his Twitter handle in March.
"I'm following the health guidelines and self-isolating myself from everybody for the week.
"I hope to see everybody soon and hope to be back on the pitch very soon," he added.
