Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez has been banned from driving for six months because of motoring offenses in Wales.

The 23-year-old Fernandez did not appear in court for sentencing on Wednesday. He had been found guilty earlier this year on two charges of failing to identify the driver of a Porsche Cayenne.

A driver of the car allegedly ran a red light in the town of Llanelli in November and was caught speeding in Swansea last December.

It was not proven that Fernandez was the driver of the vehicle.
