Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris has been charged with drink driving, British police have said.
The 31-year-old goalkeeper was charged following a routine patrol stop in the early hours of Friday morning.
The France international, who led his team to World Cup glory in Russia, was stopped in Gloucester Place, Marylebone, central London, the Met said.
Lloris, of East Finchley, north London, was bailed to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on September 11, the force said.
A Tottenham spokesman said: "The club takes matters such as this extremely seriously and it will be dealt with internally."
Lloris has been at the north London club since joining from Lyon in 2012, making 207 appearances in the Premier League and keeping 74 clean sheets.
He has grown to be regarded as one of the world's best goalkeepers during his time in England.
Lloris has won more than 100 international caps and lifted the World Cup last month, after France beat Croatia 4-2 in the final.
Spurs have won both Premier League games so far, with a 2-1 win at Newcastle and a 3-1 victory over Fulham.
Mauricio Pochettino's team are next in action at Manchester United on Monday.
