According to Nottinghamshire Live, a leaked message by the Nottinghamshire FA confirmed that the matter had been placed under investigation after they received reports about the incident.
"It has been reported to us that during a match between [home team] and [away team], a player allegedly inserted his finger(s) into an opposition player's anus," the leaked text read.
The messages also shows that the body's disciplinary committee are seeking witnesses who were at the game and have asked that a statement form be distributed to players, coaches, and supporters.
The organisation has requested that these forms be completed by today, Monday 23 January, while local police have said they were unaware of any reports pertaining to the matter.
While it remains unclear why the accused committed the act, cases of sexual assault are prohibited under the FA Rule E3: Improper Conduct in England.
