A Greek appeals court has found the England and Manchester United defender Harry Maguire guilty of aggravated assault, upholding an earlier conviction that effectively ends a six-year-long legal battle to clear his name.

A three-member panel of judges sitting on the Aegean island of Syros handed Maguire a 15-month and 20-day suspended prison term citing his role in a bar brawl on Mykonos in 2020. Originally he had received a 21-month and 10-day suspended sentence. The higher court also added a non-negotiable €1,500 fine.
