Premiership footballer Lomana Lualua has been arrested on suspicion of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
The 26-year-old Portsmouth striker was detained early in the morning at the luxury Port Solent residential development, near the city.
A Portsmouth Football Club spokesman said they are looking into the matter and will not be making a statement.
The spokesman added: "He (Lualua) is not due to play this weekend because he is currently injured."
Police were called to an address in Port Solent at about 0150 GMT where the DR Congo international was detained.
A Hampshire police spokeswoman said: "A 26-year-old man from Portsmouth has been arrested following an incident in the early hours of this morning.
"A man was arrested on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm. He is currently helping police with their inquiries."
Lualua signed a three-year contract with the south coast club last year after initially joining them for £1.7m in July, 2004 from Newcastle.
