According to SkySports, Sunderland’s attacking midfielder Stéphane Sessegnon is currently under investigation for a drink-driving incident. The former Paris Saint-Germain player was arrested by English police on Tuesday in Newcastle, leading to his exclusion from the team’s Cup match against MK Dons (0-1).
Sessegnon is expected to appear in court on October 4, where, although imprisonment is unlikely, a substantial fine may be imposed. Paolo Di Canio, the manager of Sunderland, is known for being strict on discipline and has already implemented rules such as banning players from using cell phones in the locker room.
Given Di Canio’s discipline-oriented approach, it is anticipated that Sessegnon may face consequences within the club for the drink-driving incident. The player is likely to have a challenging time with the manager as the situation unfolds.
