Harry Maguire will appeal against a 15-month suspended sentence following a fresh ruling by a Greek court relating to an incident in Mykonos in August 2020.
The Manchester United and England centre-back was convicted of non-serious assault, resisting arrest, and repeated attempts of bribery, according to Sky Sports.
Maguire was involved in a brawl alongside family members while on holiday on the Greek island and spent two nights in a police cell following his arrest, but has always denied wrongdoing.
In 2020, he was found guilty of aggravated assault, resisting arrest, and repeated attempts of bribery and handed a suspended sentence of 21 months - but a retrial was granted on appeal.
While Maguire’s suspended sentence has been reduced in length and severity, the defender is determined to clear his name and will appeal the latest verdict, having refused opportunities to settle.
The 32-year-old was not involved in the latest legal proceedings and is set to be involved in tonight’s match at Newcastle United.
