- Two games out for Darmstadt's Elidrissi
Darmstadt 98 will have to do without Othmane Elidrissi in their next two 2. Bundesliga matches. The German Football Association's (DFB) Sports Court has suspended the 17-year-old following his professional foul at the start of the season in their 0:2 loss to Fortuna Düsseldorf, deeming it "unsportsmanlike behavior". Both the player and his club have accepted the ruling, making it final.
Despite the suspension, Darmstadt 98 will still rely on their home advantage in the city of Darmstadt for their forthcoming matches. Regrettably, the absence of Othmane Elidrissi will be noticeable in Darmstadt's midfield during the next two 2. Bundesliga matches.
