Leipzig captain suspended!

RB Leipzig captain and Hungary international defender Willi Orban has been suspended for two matches by the German Football Association (DFB)'s disciplinary committee after receiving a red card in Saturday's Bundesliga match against Bochum. The decision means Orban will miss Leipzig's next two matches, including Saturday's home game against defending champions Bayer Leverkusen and the home game against Union Berlin after the international break. Orban was sent off in the 85th minute for a foul on Bochum's young Dutch striker Myron Boadu. Despite Orban's dismissal, Leipzig managed to secure the win thanks to a goal from new signing Antonio Nusa in the 59th minute. Leipzig coach Marco Rose said he hoped Orban would not be suspended, saying slow-motion replays of the incident showed that "Willi touched the ball a little" before the red card. Rose praised captain Orban despite the mistake, stressing that the team was "in trouble" and that Orban had to "sacrifice himself" at that moment.
