Four Jacksonville Jaguars players were detailed in London over an incident involving “restitution of a bill,” the team confirmed Saturday night.

The Jaguars are in London to play the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at Wembley Stadium.

“We are aware that four of our players were detained over restitution of a bill,” the team said in a statement. “The matter is being resolved and the players are with the team. Any discipline will be handled internally.”

The four players were not identified. Their status for Sunday’s game also was unclear.

The Sun, a London publication, reported that the players allegedly attempted to leave the London Reign Showclub at 4 a.m. without paying a bill of more than $64,000 after drinking $500 a bottle champagne and vodka. The club features burlesque and circus performers.

According to the newspaper, the players were met by security and “squared up to the bouncers outside the nightspot.”

“Things got pretty heated and there was a lot of swearing and shouting and things became physical,” a source told The Sun.

The Sun report indicated that the four men arrested by police were released after nine hours in custody when the bill was settled and the complaint dropped.

The Jaguars (3-4) enter the game with three consecutive losses. Their offense and defense have yet to play at a level that helped them reach the AFC Championship Game last season.
