Published on:

Liverpool star Roberto Firmino has been charged with driving while under the influence of alcohol after the Brazilian striker was arrested on Christmas Eve.

The Merseyside police have now officially confirmed the news and announced that the Liverpool star was pulled over on Saturday morning and now the Brazilian player is set to appear for a court case in 2017.
