More misery for Brenden Aaronson! USMNT star to appear in court for alleged driving offences & could face disqualification punishment

The USMNT forward, who is currently on loan at Union Berlin from Leeds United, will have to appear in the Harrogate Magistrates Court on January 3 for two alleged driving offences. The first offense is for rash driving, as he allegedly crossed 30mph on March 12, 2023. The second offence is for allegedly failing to provide information on the identification of a vehicle driver when asked on August 9, 2023 - as reported by the Yorkshire Evening Post.

Aaronson's Leeds United colleague Rasmus Kristensen, who is currently on loan at Roma, will appear in the same court on December 5 for allegedly breaching the speed limit. The alleged offence took place on the A6040 Knaresborough Road on February 19, 2023.

Aaronson and Kristensen could both be disqualified from driving if the court finds them guilty of their respective offences. Leeds will welcome the two men back to Elland Road next summer when their loan deals at Union and Roma expire.

The legal issue adds to Aaronson's frustrations since his summer exit from Leeds. It has been a tough start to the youngster's journey in Germany, as he's appeared in 14 matches for Union Berlin and has clocked just 450 minutes on the pitch while struggling to earn a starting spot. He has yet to score a goal or provide an assist for the Bundesliga club.
