HSV Appeals Two-Match Ban for Fabio Vieira After Union Berlin Red Card

HSV contests the two-match ruling by citing a lack of intent in Vieira’s late challenge.

Overview

  • The DFB sports court issued a two-game suspension for Vieira for raw play following his stoppage-time foul in the 0:0 at Union Berlin.
  • Hamburg filed an Einspruch seeking a reduction to the one-match minimum for unsporting conduct, arguing Vieira pulled his foot back.
  • Referee Deniz Aytekin defended the dismissal, citing the high dynamics of the midfield challenge as the decisive factor.
  • Initial examinations indicated no serious injury to Vieira’s left knee, and he traveled back to Hamburg with the team.
  • Defender Warmed Omari will undergo an MRI for a suspected left-ankle ligament injury that could mean around three weeks out, putting Mainz on 5 October and Leipzig on 18 October in doubt.
