The Premier League player – who cannot be named for legal reasons – was first arrested on Monday in a 3am raid. Six police cars descended on his mansion as he slept upstairs.
A woman told Met officers she had been raped by him while on holiday in the sun a week ago and showed them evidence of bruises she claimed she suffered in the alleged attack.
However, she also told police she was contacted by the second alleged victim.
A source said last night: “The woman received a private message on Instagram.
“The reporter claims she was raped by this football player in 2021.
“When the woman was giving her statement to police about the alleged holiday attack last month, she also showed cops the messages she had received.
“The police took the individual allegations very seriously and re-arrested the player in relation to these accounts. This is now a multi-pronged investigation.”
The two alleged victims are in their 20s.
The top-level player – who is in his 20s – was held in police custody for more than 24 hours. He was last night released on bail until a date in August.
The football favourite’s career – including his participation in the World Cup in Qatar later this year – is now in the balance.
He was due to join his Premier League side for a pre-season tour next week
Bosses at his club preferred not to comment on the development.
But a source said: “What was initially a shock to the club has now completely rocked the bosses.”
The first alleged victim fled a five-star resort to go home to his family in Med
She spoke to police on her return to the UK and gave a full statement at a police station on Sunday night.
