One-match ban for Dragović
The sports tribunal of the German football Association (DFB) have imposed a ban on Aleksandar Dragović due to "unsporting conduct" that covers the next Werkself friendly. The DFB announced the decision on Monday afternoon.
The 28-year-old Austria international was sent off in Sunday's friendly against Valencia by referee Sven Waschnitzki (Essen) on 20 minutes for an alleged professional foul.
Dragovic is banned from playing in any Bayer 04 friendly match until the suspension is served. The Werkself have accepted the decision and it therefore takes immediate effect.
