Following Saturday's 2-0 loss to Preston, Sunderland manager Chris Coleman was asked about Gibson's alleged arrest and said: "I was told just before the game that there was an incident this morning.
"I've heard one or two rumours but I don't know exactly what has happened, and until I speak to everybody here and find out, it is difficult for me to say anything."
