Reiss Nelson, Arsenal forward, has appeared in court for his dog's alleged attack on a massage therapist.

According to reports, the incident happened at the home of the English international where his dog made an attack on a visitor.

Saeid Motaali the masseur, was at the North London residence of the 23-year-old footballer when the alleged atrocity allegedly took place.

It is claimed that Saeid Motaali was left injured by Nelson’s dog whose name is Pooch Tiago on December 2, 2020.

The forward disputes having custody of a dog that injured people while being dangerously out of control.

It's unclear what type of dog is because the actor earlier posted a photo of a dog that looked like a French bulldog on his Instagram.

Nelson recently turned down the chance to leave the team as a free agent and instead agreed to a four-year contract with the Gunners in July.

The winger, who joined Arsenal at a very young age, has yet to make a start for the team, but he made an impression last year.

However, Nelson was involved in yesterday's 3-1 victory over Manchester United at the Emirates after replacing Gabriel Martinelli.
