Dominik Kohr Faces Potential Suspension Following Controversial Sending Off

omidbasir- Mainz defender Dominik Kohr is at risk of facing severe repercussions following his recent sending off, which could result in a suspension of up to four matches. According to reports from Kicker, the German FA is contemplating this significant penalty for Kohr, who holds the dubious record of the most sending offs in Bundesliga history. If the maximum sanction is enforced, Kohr’s 2025 season could effectively be over.

In the wake of his controversial challenge on Hoffenheim’s Max Moerstedt, Kohr has taken to social media to express his remorse. However, this apology may be deemed insufficient by the DFB’s disciplinary committee, which has grown increasingly exasperated with Kohr’s repeated infractions. A final decision regarding his suspension is anticipated today.

Despite Kohr’s contrition and the defense from his teammates, including Danny da Costa, asserting that he is not the ‘Bundesliga Bully’ he is often portrayed as, it is unlikely that these sentiments will influence the DFB’s ruling. The Trier-native’s history of reckless challenges necessitates a decisive response. Da Costa commented on Sky Germany, defending Kohr’s character while acknowledging the aggressive nature of his playing style.

Kohr directly addressed Moerstedt in his Instagram post, stating, “In my mind, I just wanted to prevent a pass. When I saw the TV images, I was shocked myself. It could have turned out differently. I’m relieved and glad that nothing more happened to you and that you were able to continue playing.”

Additionally, he extended his apologies to Mainz fans, emphasizing his commitment to the team while reiterating that he never intends to cause harm to opponents. His desire to give his all in every tackle remains steadfast, but the consequences of his actions on the field are now a pressing concern.
