Ex-Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann will appear in court in Germany on Wednesday to appeal a 240,000 euros ($265,183) fine for attempted bodily harm from an incident in November 2014.

The 46-year-old is appealing the hefty fine, which was determined by his salary, over a roadside incident two years ago on the A952 motorway in Starnberg, 30kms (18mi) south of Munich.

Lehmann is said to have acted aggressively towards another driver, who he grabbed by the scarf and was fined last year, but the former footballer has refused to pay.

"I've never threatened or choked anyone," Lehmann, who now works as a television pundit for RTL, told German daily Bild last year.

Under German law, Lehmann had the opportunity to accept the fine, which would have closed the case, or appeal, which has taken the matter to court.

A trial had been scheduled for last year, but fell through at short notice.

The fine is calculated based on 60 days of salary for the ex-Germany shotstopper, who won 61 caps between 1998 and 2008.

Lehmann succeeded David Seaman as Arsenal goalkeeper and played in every league game of the 2003/04 'Invincibles' season when the Gunners were unbeaten in the Premier League.

He made 148 league appearances for Arsenal between 2003 and 2008, but was infamously sent off early in the 2006 Champions League final which Barcelona eventually won 2-1 at the Stade de France in Paris.
