Former Netherlands striker Quincy Promes has been sentenced to 18 months in jail 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.
His lawyer says he will appeal, according to Dutch broadcaster RTL.
Promes, who has also played for Sevilla and Ajax, lives in Russia and did not attend the court hearing.
The 31-year-old was also charged by Dutch prosecutors last month for his alleged involvement in drugs trafficking.
Quincy Anton Promes (born 4 January 1992) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a forward or attacking midfielder for Russian Premier League club Spartak Moscow. He used to represent the Netherlands national team at the international level.
Promes started his career with Twente in 2011 where he spent three seasons before moving to Russian club Spartak Moscow in the summer of 2014. That year he also won his first senior cap for the Netherlands in March 2014, in a 2–0 friendly defeat against France. Promes won his first major honour in 2017 as Spartak were crowned Russian Premier League (RPL) champions.
