Nebel handed two-match ban for red card against 1.FC Köln

Die Nullfünfer will be without their attacking midfielder for two games.

Mainz 05 will be without Paul Nebel for the upcoming two Bundesliga matches, the Rhineland-Palatinate club have confirmed.

The 22-year-old will subsequently miss VfL Wolfsburg this Sunday afternoon and the home game against Leipzig on September 13th.

The midfielder was shown a red card for a professional foul on Jakub Kaminski in the 60th-minute of their clash with 1.FC Köln. 

Mainz has accepted the ruling of the German Football Association’s sports tribunal, making the two-match suspension final.

Bo Henriksen’s side went on to lose the game 1-0, but Nebel’s teammate Danny da Costa denied the red card was the sole reason for the defeat.
