The sentencing from judge Francisco Javier Ramirez de Verger Vargas concluded that as a result of the Spaniard's actions, the young woman suffered "post-traumatic cervical pain, contusion on the left elbow, a laceration on the second finger of the left hand, lacerations on both knees and lacerations on both legs."

He added that the injuries required "a first medical assistance without subsequent medical treatment and eight days of basic personal injury."

Silva accepted the conclusion of the case, meaning he was fined €1080 - €12 per day for the three-month duration the injuries are expected to take to heal.

The judge stated that the conclusion was reached as he was the "perpetrator responsible for a minor crime of injuries, with subsidiary personal liability in case of non-payment of one day of deprivation of liberty for every two daily instalments not paid."

The Real Sociedad star has also been told to give the woman €520 to compensate for the injuries suffered and the material damage caused.
