Nigeria footballer Stephen Worgu could receive 40 lashes after he was convicted of drinking alcohol in Sudan . The former England international has been jailed for three years and fined £25,000 by a court in the Sudanese capital Khartoum on charges that he had consumed alcohol. He had previously been the top scorer in the African Champions League in 2008 after he found the net 13 times but has largely struggled to recapture that form at Al-Merreikh . The lawyer for the Al-Merreikh forward has appealed against the punishment handed out to Worgu .
