A Belgian professional footballer faces a lengthy driving ban after crashing his car into a petrol station convenience store.

CCTV footage shows Jonanthan Legear's Porsche ploughing through the glass doors of an Esso convenience store in the Flanders town of Tongeren early on Sunday.

A 21-year-old man from Tongeren sustained minor injuries.

Legear, who plays for Russian club Terek Grozny, reportedly pressed the accelerator pedal by accident instead of the brake.

Police seized the 25-year-old's licence pending an investigation.

Legear was sentenced to fifty hours of community service in 2009 after crashing his car into a house.
