TOTTENHAM ace Steven Bergwijn is facing a driving ban after being caught doing 91mph in a built-up area.
The 22-year-old could also reportedly face further sanctions after the Dutch forward – and his lawyer – failed to appear in court on Thursday morning.
Bergwijn was in action for Spurs on Wednesday night in London against RB Leipzig in the Champions League, but couldn’t help his side avoid defeat against the German outfit.

According to news outlet VoetbalPrimeur.nl, the former Ajax youth star was caught by speeding cameras travelling at 91mph on August 9 at 3.30am.
The incident happened mere hours after Bergwijn netted the only goal of the game in PSV’s Europa League qualifying win against FK Haugesund in Norway.
The limits on the Boschdijk road in Eindhoven vary between 31mph and 43mph.
It has now been claimed that the judge adjourned the case to a later date.
A Dutch source said: “It’s not known exactly where he was caught, but the limit on some stretches of the Boschdijk is just 31mph.
“If you go over the limit by 31mph or more you have to hand in your driving licence.

“Bergwijn risks a hefty fine, as well as being banned from driving for several months.”
Since making the move to North London in January, Bergwijn has cemented himself as a fan favourite after just three games played.
A stunning debut volley against Manchester City immediately won over supporters, who have also been impressed by his work rate.
