A Spanish court denied Dani Alves' bail application as the investigation into sexual assault allegations against the Brazilian football player continues.

The court ruled that Alves was a flight risk and must remain in prison during the investigation. A trial has not been set yet for the 39-year-old.

The former Barcelona player was provisionally detained in January after being accused of sexually assaulting a woman at a nightclub on December 30.

A judge ordered him to be jailed without bail after analyzing the initial probe by authorities and hearing testimony from Alves, the alleged victim and others witnesses.
