Borussia Mönchengladbach – Ramy Bensebaini: Another game suspension and 15,000 euros fine

Ramy Bensebaini from Borussia Mönchengladbach has been banned from another game and fined 15,000 euros by the sports court of the German Football Association (DFB).

In the single-judge proceedings, it was considered proven that the Algerian national player had insulted referee Benjamin Brand (Unterspiesheim) on the way to the dressing room after being sent off in last Saturday’s game against SC Freiburg (0-0).

Bensebaini was initially automatically suspended for one game because of the yellow-red card received in the 87th minute. According to the DFB sports court, the additional penalty was imposed because he initially “kicked a demarcation barrier at the edge of the field with full force and then verbally insulted the referee”.

Bensebaini will miss the Gladbachers next Saturday at RB Leipzig and the following Friday (March 17) in the home game against Werder Bremen.
