Joey Barton has returned to the Fleetwood Town dugout for the first time since he allegedly racially assaulted Barnsley manager Daniel Stendel last week.
Barton was on the touchline for his team's League One clash against Peterborough on Good Friday almost a week after he allegedly assaulted German rival Stendel in the tunnel after last weekend's 4-2 defeat at Barnsley.
As a result of the incident, Stendel suffered damage to two teeth and required emergency dental treatment.
Insiders allege Stendel was hurt after Barton barged him from behind into a metal support in the immediate aftermath of last weekend's clash.
Police probing the alleged attack arrested a man on suspicion of racially aggravated assault earlier this week.
Barton released a statement on Twitter on Thursday 'emphatically denying all allegations' after the arrested man made bail.
Police have sought contact with Fleetwood and have held conversations with Stendel about last week's incident and are appealing for more people to come forward.
A statement from South Yorkshire Police on Thursday read: 'A man arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated public order offence and racially aggravated assault, in connection to an incident at Barnsley Football Club on Saturday 13 April, has been bailed until next month.
'Officers investigating the incident would be keen to speak to anyone who may have caught the incident on camera or who may have mobile phone footage immediately before or after the incident occurred.'
Tempers flared up during the game at Oakwell and Barton was seen leaving his technical area to square up to Stendel towards the end of the fixture on April 13.
At one point during the game, a member of Fleetwood's coaching team stepped between the pair as things looked likely to boil over while a yellow card was shown to a member of Barton's staff.
At the final whistle further words were exchanged between the managers before Stendel headed off down the tunnel, followed by Barton.
It was then that the former Manchester City midfielder allegedly assaulted the German, who required medical attention.
Barnsley striker Cauley Woodrow, who scored in his side's victory, immediately tweeted that his manager had been 'physically assaulted' in the tunnel before the post was removed.
Sky cameras then captured the incredible moment Barton tried to leave the Oakwell car park with Fleetwood's CEO Steve Curwood, only for a police officer and a security guard to stop their car as it raced towards the exit.
It is understood that Barnsley had locked the car park gates in an attempt to prevent Barton from making a getaway.
Barton has been able to continue his managerial work while the investigation is ongoing and was pictured issuing orders to his players during the game at Highbury Stadium on Good Friday.
This is Barton's first year in management and it followed a career playing for Manchester City, Newcastle, QPR, Marseille, Burnley and Rangers.
Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson was also in the crowd as he watched his son Darren attempt to get one over Barton on Easter weekend.
