Manchester City has released a statement, saying they fully support Robinho.

"Following press speculation, and statements from the playerïs representative and West Yorkshire police, Manchester City Football Club make the following statement:

The Club have been liaising with and assisting both the player in question and the authorities in relation to the West Yorkshire Police investigation. Both parties have been given the full support of the football club. No charges of any nature have been brought against the player and no further statement will be made whilst the investigation is continuing," it says on the clubs website.

Robinho on Wednesday night played the whole match when Manchester City at home beat Newcastle 2-1 and assisted the first of Manchester Citys goals.
