    ootballer Marcos Alonso could face trial after a woman died in a car crash in Madrid.

    The Bolton Wanderers defender crashed a BMW into a wall near Real Madrid's former training complex, not far from the Bernabeu, on Monday morning.

    One woman suffered fatal injuries, another was seriously hurt. Mr Alonso's brother Miguel and former Real Madrid teammate Jaime Navarro were also hurt.

    Mr Alonso, who was uninjured, allegedly failed a breathalyser test afterwards.

    Police have not revealed what the breathalyser and subsequent blood test showed.

    Mr Alonso, 20, appeared before an investigating judge at a closed door hearing on Monday evening.

    Weekend break
    The judge will have to decide if the player caused the accident and the girl's death. If the judge rules he caused the crash he could face a trial accused of involuntary manslaughter.

    Alonso, who joined Bolton Wanderers from Real Madrid last summer, was at home in the Spanish capital on a weekend break.

    It is understood he had been on a night out with his brother and Navarro when they met the two women.

    The first, who has been named only as Barbara, received severe head injuries and died 30 minutes after arriving at hospital.

    The other, Teresa, suffered injuries to her thorax and is described as being in a serious condition.

    Miguel Alonso also remains in hospital with three broken ribs and bruising to his lungs.

    Navarro broke his collar bone and was later released from hospital.
