PSG have confirmed Marco Verratti will be punished for his drink-driving charge.

The Italian international was pulled over on Tuesday night.

"On the night of 30 to 31 October, Marco Verratti was subjected to a roadside check in his car, which showed a blood alcohol level higher than the limit allowed for drivers who are on probation after recently obtaining their licence," a statement on PSG's website reads.

“The next day, our player made a spontaneous apology to the Coach and the management of Paris Saint-Germain.

“Under the rules stipulated in the contracts in our players, Marco Verratti will be deprived of a portion of his monthly ethics bonus, which reminds players of the exemplary behaviour they must show in all circumstances, as befitting their status as a Paris Saint-Germain player."
