Gabriel Agbonlahor to Apologize to One Direction's Louis Tomlinson

One Direction's Louis Tomlinson is expected to receive an apology from Gabriel Agbonlahor, according to BBC Sport.

The Aston Villa striker is to apologize after tackling Tomlinson, leaving him sick on the touchline. The pair was playing in a charity match at Celtic Park organized by former footballer Stiliyan Petrov. "It was one of those thing," said Agbonlahor. "I'll apologize to Louis when we meet up."

"I know he enjoyed playing in the game and it's fantastic that he took time out to be here." Agbonlahor, who was a team-mate of Petrov's at Aston Villa received abuse from One Direction fans on Twitter after the game for the tackle. Tomlinson this season signed for his local club Doncaster Rovers on a non-contract basis to play reserve games after impressing in another charity match.

The boy band One Direction became the first British group to debut on top of the Billboard 200 list when their Up All Night album sold more than 175,000 copies during the first week of its release in the United States last year.

They have recently been promoting their own movie and fragrance, with their third album due out in late November, but the singer's football injury should not affect tour plans as their next concert is not scheduled until May 2014 in Dublin.

Tomlinson's participation, along with West Life singer Nicky Byrne and other celebrities, helped boost the attendance to a capacity 60,000 in Glasgow for a game organized to raise money for the Stiliyan Petrov Cancer Foundation, set up by the former Bulgaria international who retired in May having been diagnosed with leukemia in 2012.
