As the club announced on Tuesday, the sky blues will have to do without midfielder Furkan Kircicek (26) in the next two games. That was decided by the sports court of the Northeast German Football Association (NOFV). Kircicek was suspended for three games.
The 26-year-old saw the red card in the 41st minute of the 2-0 home win against Greifswalder FC in early February.
The NOFV sports court classified Kircicek’s action as assault. “However, it had to be taken into account that the player Kircicek – as also determined by the referee – was apparently provoked by a verbal argument from the Greifswald player before his misconduct, so that the penalty to be applied could be reduced accordingly,” says the NOFV’s reasoning.
Second dismissal within a week annoys CFC coach Tiffert!
Since the 26-year-old was already absent from the away game against BFC Dynamo (0-0), the suspension now includes Chemnitzer FC’s two games against FC Viktoria 1889 Berlin (February 15) and VfB Germania Halberstadt (February 19). ).
“It’s the first red card in my career,” said Kircicek after the game against Greifswald and was still hoping for a mild penalty because of the “slight nudge”.
