Leeds Rhinos 'bad boy' Zak Hardaker appears to be in trouble again, and is rumoured to have been dropped ahead of tonight's game at Warrington Wolves.

Leeds have confirmed that two of their players are 'helping police with their enquiries' following the alleged assault of a man at a student residence in Leeds last month. Non-club sources have named the players as star full-back Zak Hardaker and Elliot Minchella.

The news comes three days after West Yorkshire police issued stills showing two individuals entering the student residence prior to assaulting an individual in what was described as a 'nasty attack'.

Hardaker was ejected from the England camp in November 2013 for breaking drinking rules, banned of five matches in June 2014 for on-field use of homophobic language and later accused of a similar homophobic offence but found that he had no case to answer due to insufficient evidence.

Hardaker is expected to be left out of the Leeds side to face the Wolves at the Halliwell-Jones tonight, leaving Leeds fans scratching their heads at the latest allegations against their flawed genius full-back.

UPDATE 17/03/15 : It is understood that the police have now concluded their investigation and after cooperating with police both players have been released and will not face any charges in relation to this matter.
