Leeds United defender Rasmus Kristensen is to appear before court in January charged with speeding in Harrogate.
Kristensen, 26, of North Park Road in Harrogate, is alleged to have been speeding in excess of 30mph on the A6040 Knaresborough Road near the Stray in a Bentley Continental on February 19 this year.
A hearing was held at Harrogate Magistrates Court this morning, but Kristensen was not present.
Magistrates adjourned the case until January 23, 2024, and ordered the 26-year-old to appear in person.
Kristensen, who is a Denmark international, is currently playing for Italian side AS Roma on loan from Leeds.
He joined the club in July after the Whites’ relegation from the Premier League.
Kristensen made 26 appearances for Leeds last season and scored three goals.
He joined United from Red Bull Salzberg in July 2022 for an undisclosed fee reported to be in the region of £10 million.
