CARDIFF-. He Argentine midfielder Chelsea Enzo Fernandez will be banned from driving for six months due to traffic offences in Wales.
Fernandez, 23, did not appear in court for sentencing, which was announced Wednesday. He had been found guilty earlier this year on two charges related to failing to identify himself as the driver of a Porsche Cayenne.
The driver of the car ran a red light in the town of Llanelli in November and was caught speeding in Swansea last December.
It was not proven that Fernandez was the driver of the vehicle.
Fernandez, who played in Argentina’s 2-1 World Cup qualifier loss to Colombia on Tuesday, was the registered owner of the Porsche but did not respond to police requests for information.
He will have to pay £3,020 ($4,000) in fines and costs.
