Atletico Madrid Also wants six-months for defender's partner

The 19 missed calls to Lucas

Atletico Madrid defender Lucas Hernandez could face a jail term after the public prosecutor demanded a seven-month sentence following his charge of domestic violence.

Last Friday saw the Frenchman arrested along with his girlfriend, Amelia Lorente, after an incident that saw both suffer minor injuries.

Neither party has submitted a complaint to the police and reached an agreement after a 500 metre restraining order was placed on the pair, the public prosecution demanded further punishment given the seriousness of the case.

Hernandez could therefore face the sentence with the prosecutor demanding a six-month term for Lorente, four for mistreatment and two for damages.

Judge María Elena Grande, of the 7th court of Majadahonda, has agreed to refer the judicial file to a criminal court in Madrid so that a future trial may be held.

This comes after both Lucas and his partner faced the judge on Monday, the Atleti man entering at 10:10 CET and departing at 14:30, pending the ruling.
