Michail Antonio returns to court over driving charges next March
Summary

Footballer Michail Antonio is scheduled for a fresh hearing on March 2, 2026, at Birmingham Magistrates' Court related to driving offences. Earlier this year, he was found guilty in absentia for failing to identify the driver of his speeding Lamborghini. Judge Monroe decided to set aside the conviction due to circumstances surrounding Antonio’s serious crash in December 2025. He has been hospitalized and claimed he was unable to drive at the time of the offence. If convicted, he faces potential disqualification from driving.
