​Liverpool defender Sakho faces drugs test hearing in July

Liverpool and France defender Mamadou Sakho's hearing over a failed drugs test has been scheduled for next month, reports Sky Sports.

The French international, initially suspended by UEFA for 30 days when the offence came to light, tested positive for a fat-burning substance after the Europa League tie against Manchester United in March.

It is now understood that Sakho's case will be heard in July, although no exact date has been set.
