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 the 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.
A Madrid court last week gave the 25-year-old until October 28 to “voluntarily” enter prison unless his appeal against the order was accepted.
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.
He and his partner, Amelia Lorente, were both convicted of domestic violence in February 2017.
