Sunderland captain Lee Cattermole and on-loan striker Nicklas Bendtner face five offences of criminal damage relating to cars parked in Newcastle’s Stowell Street in December.
The players, both of Darras Hall, Ponteland, Northumberland, were due to appear at Newcastle Magistrates’ Court this morning.
At a brief hearing, magistrates were told that it had been adjourned administratively at the end of last week, and the footballers’ attendance was excused.
The case was re-listed for March 12.
Bendtner, 24, is on international duty with Denmark, who play Russia on Wednesday.
Last week, the same court handed him a 56-day driving ban after he was caught doing 103mph in his Porsche 911 turbo.
