The Sports Court of the DFB has handed Niklas Dams of the Borussia Dortmund U23s a two-match ban in the 3. Liga. The centre-back was shown a red card in the 76th minute of the match against FSV Zwickau. It was the first time Dams has been sent off in his professional career.

That means that Dams will miss the next two league games against Waldhof Mannheim and the SC Freiburg reserves. He will be allowed to return to action on Matchday 4, when the Black & Yellows host 1. FC Saarbrücken.

Borussia Dortmund have accepted the verdict and it is therefore binding.
