Ex-Netherlands footballer Quincy Promes has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for stabbing his cousin in the knee.

The incident took place at a family party in July 2020 and the Spartak Moscow forward was found guilty of assault by a Dutch court, reports BBC.

According to reports, his lawyers will appeal.

Promes, who has also played for Sevilla and Ajax, lives in Russia and did not attend the court hearing, reports BBC.

The footballer was also charged by Dutch prosecutors recently for his alleged involvement in drugs trafficking.
