Ronald Koeman warns Everton players over off-field discipline after drawing line under Wayne Rooney saga

Ronald Koeman has warned Everton’s squad about their off-field responsibilities and the need for a disciplined lifestyle as he drew a line under the Wayne Rooney saga.

Everton fined Rooney two weeks’ wages, amounting to £300,000, after he was given a two-year driving ban on Monday following his arrest for being almost three times over the legal alcohol limit on September 1.
