Liverpool winger Jermaine Pennant has collapsed while on holiday.

Pennant reportedly passed out half an hour after take-off from Malaga and was given oxygen by flight attendants.

Pennant, who served a month in jail in 2005 for driving while banned and being over the limit, had allegedly been drinking heavily the night before and had had little sleep. He was accompanied on the plane by Paolo Vernazza, of Barnet, and Jonathan Fortune, the Charlton Athletic defender.

Sky Andrew, Pennant's agent, said: "He is fine now. He just had a bit of dehydration."
