The estranged wife of Argentine player Eduardo Salvio filed a police complaint on Thursday accusing him of hitting her with a car he was driving, causing minor injuries.
The official Telam news agency reported that Magali Aravena, who had recently separated from Salvio, filed the report.
Salvio's attorney, Mariano Cuneo Libarona, told the TyC Sports channel that the player would appear before authorities "to clear everything up and demonstrate that he is innocent.''
The 31-year-old Salvio spent years as a forward and midfielder with Benfica in Portugal, Atletico Madrid in Spain, and the Argentina national team.
