ROMA star Brune Peres destroyed his Lamborghini while drink-driving and had his licence taken away, according to reports in Italy.

The Brazilian right-back escaped unhurt but is said to have tested positive after the 5.30am crash and has already been dropped for the Serie A club's next game.

The 27-year-old has also reportedly been fined around 800 Euros - about £708 - after police claimed he lost control of his sports car.

Roma responded by calling Peres in to train alone on a day off for other players.

They also told him he will be left out of Sunday's league clash at home to Benevento.

Sky Sports in Italy reported that Peres had a blood alcohol level nearly four times the legal limit - just under 2g, compared to the 0.5g allowed.

Roma themselves are also likely to fine him.

That is because their action so far is similar to the punishment they gave team-mate Radja Nainggolan.

The Belgium midfielder, 29, was dropped after posting a video of himself drinking, smoking and swearing on Instagram.

Former Santos star Peres joined Roma in 2016 after two years with Italian rivals Torino.
