Darmstadt's Fabian Nürnberger Suspended for Five Matches Following Violent Conduct

The defender received a five-game suspension after committing two violent fouls in a single incident during a match against SV Elversberg.

  • Fabian Nürnberger of Darmstadt 98 has been suspended for five matches by the German Football Association (DFB) following two acts of violent conduct in a recent game.
  • The 25-year-old defender first committed a severe foul on Elias Baum, causing the Elversberg player to leave the field injured.
  • During the ensuing commotion, Nürnberger grabbed Maximilian Rohr by the neck and struck him in the face with an open hand.
  • The DFB also imposed a conditional three-match suspension, which will be enforced if Nürnberger commits another offense within the next year.
  • Darmstadt coach Florian Kohfeldt publicly condemned the player's actions, describing them as a 'brutally stupid decision' that must not happen again.
