The former Manchester United midfielder was charged with "driving with excess alcohol" after his involvement in a road traffic accident
Championship strugglers Sunderland have announced that they have suspended midfielder Darron Gibson after he was charged for "driving with excess alcohol" on Saturday.
Gibson, who came through the ranks at Manchester United and also played for Everton, was involved in a road traffic accident and later charged for being under the influence.
The Republic of Ireland international had only recently been allowed back on the road following a 20-month driving ban for hitting a cyclist while driving, also with "excess alcohol" in his system on that occasion.
