West Midlands Police have charged Birmingham City striker Marvin Ducksch with driving under the influence of alcohol. The charge follows a collision involving three vehicles on Monday, 6 April. Officers attended the scene during the afternoon of the public holiday, according to West Midlands Police reports. No serious injuries resulted from the incident, although emergency services assessed several individuals for minor welfare concerns.
Ducksch, aged 32, joined the Blues from Werder Bremen and has featured regularly for the club this season. The striker is expected to appear before Birmingham Magistrates' Court later this month to answer the charge, per Sky Sports. Birmingham City officials have acknowledged the situation but declined to provide a formal statement while legal proceedings remain active.
The club has not yet confirmed if the forward will face internal disciplinary action or if he remains available for selection. Ducksch has played a significant role in the Birmingham attack since his arrival in English football, according to The Athletic.
