FC Metz player Stoppila Sunzu spent the night from Thursday to Friday in French police custody. According to the Republican Lorrain he was arrested for domestic violence. The Zambian defender will be summoned to the Metz Criminal Court for aggravated violence.

Stoppila Sunzu is one of the essential players at FC Metz. He stabilizes  the defense with his fellow Ghanaian John Boye, and it was hard to understand why the Zambian mover was missing in the Friday match against Clermont, and played only 20 minutes.

So he was probably tired after a night from Thursday to Friday, spent in custody in the premises of the police station in Metz. The 29-year-old defender is suspected of hitting his girlfriend, with the aggravating circumstance that his girlfriend is pregnant.

FC Metz did not want to comment on the incident on Monday night. And Stoppila Zungu has not been laid off, he also has a good chance of playing in today’s   night match against  Monaco in the 32nd final of the Coupe de France. 

The prosecutor’s office of Metz confirmed  that the player will be summoned before the criminal court, for aggravated violence.

Stoppila Sunzu arrived in July in Metz.
