Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris charged with drink-driving
Tottenham Hotspur and France goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has been charged with drink-driving, Scotland Yard has said.
The World Cup winner, 31, was stopped during a routine patrol in Marylebone in central London in the early hours of Friday.
The shot-stopper was bailed to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 11 September.
Lloris, who lives in East Finchley, north London, captains both Spurs and France, winning more than 100 international caps.
After France's victory at Russia 2018, during which the team beat Croatia 4-2 in the final, he and the rest of the squad met President Emmanuel Macron at the Elysee Palace.
Hundreds of thousands of people packed the Champs Elysees in Paris as the victorious team paraded the World Cup.
Lloris has made 256 appearances for Tottenham since joining the club from Lyon in 2012.
The Premier League side have started the season strongly, with wins over Newcastle and Fulham.
Their next fixture is away to Manchester United on Monday evening.
