Nuremberg midfielder Javier Pinola has been banned for four Bundesliga matches for spitting at Bayern Munich midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger.
The German football federation imposed the ban on Wednesday for ''glaring unsportmanlike conduct.''
Pinola spat at Schweinsteiger late in the first half of Nuremberg's 3-0 loss to Bayern on Saturday. The referee missed the incident, but Schweinsteiger reported it in post-match interviews.
Pinola called Sunday to say sorry to Schweinsteiger, who accepted the apology.
