Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino was banned from driving for a year and fined 20,000 pounds after admitting drink-driving on Wednesday. The Brazilian international was stopped by police while he was driving on 24th December. "I apologise, without reservation, to the club, the manager, my teammates and the supporters for putting myself in this situation," Firmino said. "What I have done is wrong and sets a bad example. I promise to everyone in the Liverpool Football Club family that I will learn from this mistake, learn from this experience and not repeat it in the future." Liverpool said in a statement that Firmino had been disciplined for a "lapse in judgment". - Afp
