Nineteen-year-old Aaryan Aggarwal entered a not guilty plea at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court after being accused of transmitting an abusive digital communication toward England international Jess Carter during the European Championship. Prosecutor Grace Court stated the communication arrived on July 17 of the previous year, coinciding with the national team's quarter-final victory over Sweden, and allegedly featured a racial slur alongside derogatory remarks.

The judicial proceedings will continue with a trial scheduled for October 3 of next year at Cambridge Magistrates' Court.
