BEIJING: China goalkeeper Zhang Lu has been expelled from the national team for drunk-driving, the Chinese Football Association said Saturday.
The 32-year-old, who captains Chinese Super League side Tianjin Tianhai, was also suspended without pay by his club, Xinhua news agency reported, citing a CFA statement.
Zhang was detained for drunk-driving on Wednesday and was expelled from the national team after Tianjin police revealed the case on Saturday, the CFA said.
