Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez will have an upcoming court date after receiving a speeding ticket for going 155 kilometers per hour, or 96 miles per hour, per ESPN FC.

The incident took place in the Buin area, south of Chile's capital Santiago, with the forward currently home for an international break.

He received a fine and will go to court on April 12.

Sanchez is in his third season with Arsenal and currently ranks third in the Premier League with 18 goals in 27 appearances.

While the club is falling down the table due to a recent slide in results, the 28-year-old's immediate concern is likely with his national team as Chile attempts to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.
