Bremen boss Clemens Fritz called the length of the ban "unfair" and promised to take measures to reduce it in a brief statement on the club's website. DFB rules currently call for a minimum of a two-match-ban if a team does not convert from a free-kick or penalty that resulted from the denial of a clear goalscoring opportunity.
Since Freiburg's Vincenzo Grifo did not convert the ensuing free kick, Friedl must be sidelined for two games. The present appeal aims to get the 24-year-old back on the pitch next Saturday in time for matchday 13 against Schalke 04. Friedl remains unavailable for tomorrow's matchday 12 curtain-raiser against Hertha BSC.
Der @DFB hat Marco #Friedl nach seiner roten Karte gegen den SC Freiburg für 2 Spiele gesperrt. Der SV #Werder Bremen wird gegen das Urteil Einspruch einlegen.
