Lucas Hernandez was arrested in June 2017 for defying the restraining order after landing in Madrid along with his wife following their marriage.

France and FC Bayern Munich defender Lucas Hernández has until October 28 to voluntarily enter prison after breaking a restraining order in 2017.

Hernández appeared in a Madrid court on Monday and now has 10 days to voluntarily begin his six month sentence. Hernández was arrested after a domestic violence incident in Spain in 2017, while he played for Atlético Madrid.

 

He was initially sentenced to community service and then two years later, was given a six-month prison sentence for violating a restraining order related to that case. He and his partner had a restraining order put in place by a judge. But they violated it by travelling together to the United States.

Hernández was a reserve in the France squad that won the Nations League last weekend.
