West Bromwich Albion striker, Saido Berahino is set to appear in court after being arrested on suspicion of drink-driving.
Cheshire Police said a court summons was due to be issued to the, who was called up to the England senior squad in November last year.
Berahino was arrested in the early hours of October 22 after a police patrol stopped a car travelling southbound on the M6 near Warrington.
In a statement, Cheshire Constabulary said the 21-year-old's bail had been cancelled and he would instead be issued with a summons to appear at court on a date to be fixed.
The player scored four goals in Albion's 7-0 FA Cup win over Gateshead last Saturday and signed a new three-and-a-half-year contract with the Baggies in December 2013.
Berahino came to the UK from war-torn Burundi as a child with his mother, brother and sisters and settled with his family in Birmingham.
The England under-21 star was selected for the full England squad in November but was a non-playing substitute for matches against Slovenia and Scotland.
It is understood Berahino has been sent a postal requisition instructing him to appear at North Cheshire Magistrates' Court in Runcorn on Monday January 19.
A spokesman for the striker's club declined to comment on the court proceedings.
