Guinean international Bayo to appear in court for drink driving

CLERMONT-FERRAND, France, Oct 25, 2021 (AFP) – Clermont’s Guinea stiker Mohamed Bayo will appear before a criminal court in June for “driving under the influence of alcohol”, the French city’s public prosecutor said on Monday.

Bayo, 23, was detained by police on Sunday after a traffic accident in Clermont but was released on Monday.

He failed to stop after the incident with another car which had two passengers, who suffered minor issues.

On June 28, he will also appear in court for “involuntary injuries which have caused a temporary professional absence of less than three months,” the central city’s public prosecutor Eric Maillaud said.

Bayo, who made the last of his five international appearances earlier this month, scored his sixth goal of the season in Saturday’s 2-1 loss at Nantes.
