Daniel Sturridge could face another ban over betting offences… despite now playing in Turkey
DANIEL STURRIDGE could face another ban, despite playing again in Turkey.
The ex-Liverpool hero debuted for new club Trabzonspor in Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Genclerbirligi.
But the FA are waiting for news of their appeal after he was let off with a £75,000 fine and a six-week ban for breaching betting rules.
If English football bosses get their way and Sturridge is given a further ban, they will approach the Turkish football federation to block him from playing abroad.
Sturridge, 30, was found to have told his brother Leon to place bets on him moving to Sevilla during the window in January 2018.
But in July, an independent regulatory commission dismissed a further nine charges against the striker linked to the inside information rules.
He was slapped with a fine and a six-week ban, four of which is suspended for a year.
It meant Sturridge, released by Liverpool, was free to join another club and play as the ban ended before the start of the season.
The FA were left fuming by the leniency.
