Engleski mediji dodaju da bi se ovaj nogometaš na sudu trebao pojaviti 26. jaunara, kada će pokušati objasniti zbog čega je vozio u alkoholiziranom stanju, no teško da ga bilo kakvo opravdanje može izvući i spasiti kazne.

Očekuje se da bi ovaj nogometaš treba dobiti nešto veću novčanu kaznu, a uz to mu prijeti i oduzimanje vozačke na neko vrijeme.
