Mark Clattenburg is confident of being found innocent of alleged business irregularities and returning to refereeing. The 33-year-old told the Daily Mail: "I would hope so. You don't know, do you? You can't guarantee anything.

"I can't guarantee what's going to happen tomorrow, I can't guarantee what's going to happen the next day. At the end of the day, the truth will come out.

"Why wouldn't I (be reinstated)? I'm innocent. When I come back to refereeing, I'll just smile."
