Mason Greenwood has been further arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and threats to kill, with the Manchester United star already accused of rape and assault.
Detectives have been granted additional time to question the England striker who was first detained on Sunday.
The 20-year-old was arrested after distressing pictures and audio circulated on social media alleging he attacked an 18-year-old student.
Police said in a statement on Tuesday evening: 'Detectives have been granted further additional time to speak to a man in his 20s who was arrested on suspicion of rape and assault of a woman.
'The suspect was detained in custody on Sunday afternoon after we became aware of online social media images and videos posted by a woman reporting incidents of physical violence.
'He continues to be questioned after magistrates authorised an extension until tomorrow.
'Following enquiries so far, he has since been further arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and threats to kill.
'Enquiries are ongoing and the victim continues to be offered specialist support.'
It comes after the striker was removed from FIFA 22 in an update today.
After a database update for all platforms including Xbox, PlayStation and PC, the Manchester United striker no longer features in the popular computer game for offline modes.
But his FIFA 22 Ultimate Team item is still active and can be swapped on the game's FUT 22 transfer market, the Manchester Evening News reports.
Meanwhile, United's most high-profile players, including David de Gea, Cristiano Ronaldo and Paul Pogba have appeared to unfollow Greenwood on Instagram, despite following other squad members.
Marcus Rashford, Edinson Cavani, Fred and Jesse Lingard are also among those not following the rising star, while club captain Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes are in a group of 18 squad members who, so far, are continuing to do so.
The images which circulated online appeared to show Greenwood's alleged victim bloodied and bruised.
Another post included a voice recording of a conversation between a man and a woman, dated October last year, which purportedly chronicled the woman being attacked.
In the wake of the allegations, Nike - the world-famous sportswear giant - released a statement stating that they were 'deeply concerned'.
It was also revealed their connection with Greenwood has been put on hold.
A statement read: 'We have suspended our relationship with Mason Greenwood. We are deeply concerned by the disturbing allegations and will continue to closely monitor the situation.'

Men don't get the same attention and protection that that women get when they're abused by women. Most times, the issue of abuse and assault is often skewed towards women and only seen from their perspective. This make Men already "guilty" when they haven't been tried. The media and women support groups don't even help matters. Male kids are molested like female kids. Men are also assaulted by women. But these are swept aside. I am not in support of Mason's actions if he is really guilty. I am simply expressing my personal opinion.
