The DFB's disciplinary committee weighed in on the incident on Tuesday, handing down a three match suspension that will carry over into next season. Coman shall miss out on this season's final matchday, along with the DFL Super Cup and the opening round of next season. Bayern's opening DFB Pokal match, deferred until later so that the team might participate in the Super Cup, will not be affected.
The responsible administrative arm of the Sports Court labelled the occurrence "an assault on an opponent". Bayern have 24 hours to appeal the decision.
