Egyptian football star Mohamed Salah has been handed a six-month driving ban in England over a speeding-related case involving his Rolls-Royce.
The former Liverpool forward was convicted of failing to provide information identifying the person who was driving his car when a speeding offence occurred.
The incident happened on March 27 in Wilmslow, Cheshire. A speed camera recorded the Rolls-Royce travelling at 36 mph (58 km/h) in a 30 mph (48 km/h) zone.
However, Salah was not convicted directly for speeding. According to the BBC, he was convicted for failing to respond to a request from Cheshire Police for information about who was driving the vehicle.
Salah did not enter a plea in the case.
The matter was eventually heard at a court in Warrington, where he was given a six-month driving ban and ordered to pay £1,044.
The speeding incident occurred three days after Salah announced that he would leave Liverpool at the end of the season.
Salah spent nine years at Liverpool before leaving England in the summer to join Turkish club Trabzonspor.
The 34-year-old has made an impressive start in Turkey. He recently scored a hat-trick in Trabzonspor’s 4-0 win over Galatasaray.
He has scored seven goals in six league appearances for the club.
