Santiago Ascacibar suspended until 25 May

Defensive midfielder Santiago Ascacibar has been banned for six weeks as a result of the incident that led to his sending off against Bayer 04 Leverkusen last Saturday.

VfB will therefore be without the 22-year-old until 25 May. The verdict was passed by the German Football Association (DFB) Sports Court on Tuesday.

Ascacibar was shown a straight red card for violent conduct by referee Tobias Stieler in the first minute of second-half stoppage time during the home match against Leverkusen.

Santiago Ascacibar:

“I have apologised for my actions to the club and to the team. That apology of course extends to my opponent Kai Havertz. Although I had been provoked, such actions are not acceptable.”
