Deportivo Alaves' French defender Theo Hernandez breathed a sigh of relief on Tuesday after charges of sexual aggression against him were dropped.

Hernandez, who is thought to be on the brink of joining Real Madrid, was on Monday accused of sexually abusing a 20-year-old woman in the back seat of his car outside of a nightclub in Marbella (southern Spain), where he was on holiday with some teammates on Sunday. The 19-year-old was released after being questioned by the police, who also questioned the woman who accused him, as well as several witnesses. The judge decided not to press charges against the player.
