Few Imps down the years have attracted as much controversy in their first few weeks as an Imp than Ali Fuseini. The midfielder has been involved in a court case after his alledged involvement in a kidnapping and rape trial, but he has now been found not guilty.
Fuseini, who was playing for Millwall at the time of the alledged kidnapping and rape, joined Lincoln from Lewes on transfer deadline day, convincing Steve Tilson and the rest of those in power at Sincil Bank that he would be found not guilty and that has now turned out to be the case.
In a short statement on the official website, Lincoln City stated;
"The club has been informed that Ali Fuseini has been cleared following a trial at Blackfriars Court in London. We are very pleased that the assurances given by Ali when he signed for the club have been upheld by the courts. Lincoln City will be making no further comment on the mmatter and hope Ali will be able to focus on his football."
Due to the trial, it is unclear as to whether Fuseini will be in the squad to face Morecambe on Saturday.

The one thing that does concern me is the press,not because it reports,but because a pro footballer is involved it becomes sensational,and more reportable.
I expect that the other 2 involved will find that the press will not take any notice of them.
