Sheffield United footballers Rhian Brewster and Oli McBurnie have been charged after a police investigation into incidents during the club's Championship play-off semi-final loss to Nottingham Forest
The Blades said they were "disappointed" to learn the duo face criminal action following an inquiry by Nottinghamshire Police.Forest, who went on to earn promotion to the Premier League, won 3-2 on penalties after the tie ended 3-3 on aggregate.
"Brewster and McBurnie strenuously deny the charges brought against them and football manager Paul Heckingbottom, who wrote letters to the League Managers' Association, the Professional Footballers' Association, the EFL and FA following a number of pitch invasions last month - including one involving Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira - is continuing discussions with key stakeholders in a bid to better protect players and staff in their place of work.
"We can't accept it, we can't just say 'yeah, that happens in football'. However strong we need to be to make sure it doesn't happen again, we need to be strong."
