Awais Butt, 19, of Rowley Regis, is accused of unlawfully and maliciously causing grievous bodily harm with intent to a youth in Walsall on August 5, 2021.
The matter will be heard at Wolverhampton Crown Court in June next year as a result of a huge backlog of 900 cases, partly caused by the coronavirus crisis.
Butt, of Oldbury Road, Rowley Regis denies the allegations.
