Dejan Lovren denies perjury allegations

Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren says he “did not commit any criminal offence” after being charged with perjury in Croatia over evidence given in a trial. Zdravko Mamic, considered the most powerful figure in football in Croatia, was jailed in June for corruption. Luka Modric is suspected of having made false statements during the trial and Lovren has been charged with the same offence. "With indignation, I dismiss all accusations," Lovren said on Instagram "To anyone who wants to ruin my reputation and the reputation of my family, I say it will not succeed," he added. "I did not commit any criminal offence. I am proud of my life, every step of my life, everything that my family and I have created."
