RB Leipzig will only have to do without central defender El Chadaille Bitshiabu in the upcoming home match against FC Bayern Munich. The 19-year-old was suspended for one match by the German Football Association's sports court following his emergency brake, the club announced.
The Frenchman was shown the red card in the 50th minute of last Saturday's away game at Eintracht Frankfurt (0:4). The foul on Eintracht professional Ansgar Knauff was deemed unsportsmanlike conduct by referee Matthias Jöllenbeck. On Saturday (3.30pm/Sky), the Saxons host record champions Munich in Leipzig.
