British police have sent a file on Ian Wright to the Crown Prosecution Service for advice on whether to proceed with legal action against the Arsenal striker.

Wright, 34, was interviewed by police at Highbury following a heated exchange with some Arsenal fans after Saturday's 3-1 defeat against Blackburn.

A spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Police said yesterday: "A report has been sent to the CPS for advice in connection with a player."

Earlier this week Wright insisted he still "loved" Arsenal fans. "I'm just as disappointed as they are to lose. I don't know if they were Arsenal fans, but that's just how I tend to react."

Former Chelsea, Stoke and Arsenal midfielder, Alan Hudson, was in critical condition in hospital yesterday after receiving an emergency operation following a car accident.

Hudson was hit by a car while walking home in the East End of London on Monday night and was brought to Royal London Hospital where he underwent a 14-hour operation for internal and head injuries.
