DFB Sports Court Issues Suspension for Dominik Kohr

omidbasir- The DFB sports court has delivered its anticipated verdict concerning FSV Mainz 05 midfielder Dominik Kohr late on Monday evening. The player, who holds the Bundesliga record for the most ejections from league matches, will face a suspension of three league fixtures and a fine of €15,000 due to his aggressive foul on Hoffenheim’s Max Moerstedt last Friday.

Initially, Kohr risked a more severe penalty after a widespread consensus deemed his challenge reckless enough to warrant a straight red card. A four-match ban would have effectively sidelined Kohr for the remainder of league play in the 2025 calendar year. As it stands, he will be eligible to return for Mainz’s final league match against St. Pauli on December 21.

Despite his suspension in the Bundesliga, Kohr remains available for head coach Bo Henriksen in Mainz’s upcoming Conference League fixtures. Interestingly, Mainz has performed well in Europe, winning all three of their matches in the Conference League. However, the team’s immediate concern lies in their league performance, where they currently occupy the automatic relegation zone with only one victory and three draws from 11 matchdays.
