The latest charge relates to a new complainant and is alleged to have taken place in July this year.
Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy has been charged with a further seventh count of rape.
He is now accused of seven counts of rape and one count of sexual assault relating to five women. The 27-year-old was charged last week with the latest offence, but it was subject to reporting restrictions.
These restrictions were lifted earlier as Mendy appeared at Chester Crown Court for a hearing ahead of his trial.
The latest charge relates to a new complainant and is alleged to have taken place in July this year. The earlier charges are alleged to have happened between October 2020 and August 2021. The footballer, who has been in custody since his arrest in August, appeared alongside his co-defendant Louis Saha Matturie, 40, of Eccles in Greater Manchester.
