Stuttgart goalkeeper Jens Lehmann has been banned for three matches
following his sending-off last weekend for stepping on an
opponent's foot, the Germany Football Federation said Wednesday.
The 40-year-old former Germany and Arsenal keeper was shown
the red card close to the end of Sunday's Bundesliga match at Mainz
for stepping on the foot of striker Aristide Bance.
The resulting 90th-minute penalty gave Mainz a 1-1 draw and
spoiled new Stuttgart coach Christian Gross' league debut.
Stuttgart says Lehmann, who strained a knee ligament during
the incident, had since apologized to his teammates.
