Police told BBC Sport they were called to the incident at 00:47 GMT on Saturday following reports of an assault.
The alleged victim was taken to hospital with injuries, which police said were not believed to be life-changing or life-threatening.
The player has been released on bail while police enquiries continue.
In the UK the name of someone arrested is rarely released or confirmed by police.
This approach was brought in following the Leveson Inquiry into the British media in 2012. It said arrested suspects should only be named in “exceptional and clearly identified circumstances”.
Typically, a name is released if a suspect is charged.
