Former Netherlands striker Quincy Promes has been sentenced to 18 months in jail for stabbing his cousin in the knee.
The incident took place at a family party in July 2020 and the Spartak Moscow forward was found guilty of assault by a Dutch court.
His lawyer says he will appeal, according to Dutch broadcaster RTL.
