Real Madrid have opened disciplinary proceedings against defender Raul Asencio, who was last month convicted of drink-driving, coach Jose Mourinho said on Thursday.
The 23-year-old centre-back was more than three times over the legal limit during the August 16 incident.
Asencio was convicted in a trial held in San Bartolome de Tirajana, a village in Gran Canaria, and fined 14,400 euros ($16,700), while his driving licence was suspended for eight months, a court source told AFP on Wednesday.
This week, Asencio is due to face another court case in Gran Canaria, involving the alleged non-consensual sharing of a sexual video dating back to 2023.
“He’s a model professional. When he was fit, no one trained as hard as him,” Mourinho told reporters.
