Chelsea midfielder Danny Drinkwater was hit with a 20-month driving ban and a 12-month community order after he pleaded guilty Monday to drink-driving.
Per MailOnline's Joseph Curtis, Drinkwater was sentenced at Stockport Magistrates' Court, where he was ordered to perform 70 hours of unpaid work and to pay £85 in prosecution costs and an £85 victim surcharge.
Drinkwater told the court:
"On the early morning of Monday, April 8, 2019, I made an error in judgement and a huge mistake in deciding to drive whilst over the legal limit.
"I can't apologise enough for my actions and have learnt a valuable lesson.
