Hamburg will have to do without influential midfielder Fabio Vieira for their next two Bundesliga fixtures. The Arsenal loanee was sent off on a straight red card at the tail end of Sunday’s 0-0 draw with 1. FC Union Berlin.<\/a> Match official Deniz Aytekin deemed Vieira’s high-boot tackle on Leopold Querfeld at 90+8 to be worthy of a sending off.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Monday, the German FA judged Vieira’s action to be worthy of a two-match-ban. Hamburg appealed the verdict, yet saw their motion denied by the DFB on Tuesday. HSV argued that Vieira – who proved an essential part of the club’s first Bundesliga win in over seven years<\/a> – did try to pull back before making contact with Querfeld.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The DFB’s disciplinary arm rejected HSV’s argument and ultimately upheld their second two-match-ban resulting from the weekend action. Mainz 05 keeper Robin Zentner also drew a straight red for denying Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi a clear and obvious goal-scoring opportunity in Saturday’s 0-2 home loss.<\/a><\/p>\n

In Zenter’s case, the fact that Dortmund didn’t score on the subsequently awarded dead-ball rendered a two-match-suspension mandatory. Zentner actually swept Adeyemi off his feet before the BVB attacker entered the penalty area in the 67th. Dortmund’s Julian Brandt sent the 70th-minute free kick into the wall.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mainz must play their next two league fixtures with 24-year-old Lasse Rie\u00dfe in net. Rie\u00dfe started two matches late in last year’s campaign, conceding one goal against Eintracht Frankfurt and VfL Bochum in each of his respective starts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Unlike Hamburg, Mainz did not appeal the ban.\u00a0<\/p>\n
