  • Reaching at least 12 penalty points on his licence puts the footballer at risk of an automatic disqualification.
  • Kulusevski wrote to the court pleading mitigating circumstances, explaining he needs to drive his young family and travel home from late-night away games.
  • The case has been referred for a sentencing hearing on 21 September at Barkingside Magistrates' Court, where he must prove exceptional hardship to avoid a ban.
