“We consider that the appeal should be upheld and the order to enter prison suspended,” the court said in a statement.

Bayern Munich defender Lucas Hernandez will not go to a Spanish jail for violating a restraining order in 2017 after a Madrid court on Wednesday accepted an appeal by the French player. 


“We consider that the appeal should be upheld and the order to enter prison suspended,” the court said in a statement. The suspension of the sentence will be for a period of four years as long as Hernandez does not commit any further crime and the payment of a fine of 96,000 euros (USD 111,000), the court said. 


Hernandez, a World Cup winner with France in 2018, was arrested four years ago in Spain for violating a court order banning him from contacting his partner after a violent altercation between the pair.
