Birmingham City striker Marvin Ducksch has been charged with drink driving following a three-vehicle collision on Easter Monday.

Warwickshire Police have confirmed the German was arrested after officers attended the scene on the A3400 near Henley-in-Arden, close to where the club's training ground is based, at around 22:30 BST.

He was charged with the offence on Monday, 13 April.

The striker, 32, is on bail and will appear before Warwickshire Magistrates' Court in Leamington Spa on Wednesday, 20 May.

"Marvin wishes to apologise to his team-mates, staff and supporters of the club and accepts full responsibility for his actions," the club said in a statement.

"The matter has been dealt with internally and no further comment will be made at this time."

Ducksch did feature in Blues' 2-1 loss to Ipswich Town on the day of the incident but was dropped from the squad for their game against Wrexham on Sunday.
