"David is and will remain our captain," coach adi hutter told various media outlets. According to "bild" information, the 33-year-old argentinian must donate a fine of 35,000 euros to a charitable institution. "He will of course get a sanction from the club, which he will certainly donate to a good cause," said hutter in an interview with the radio station hit radio FFH and explained: "i’m not one to drop someone if they make a mistake."
Abraham had in the 0:1 defeat of the eintracht at the SC freiburg in the fubball bundesliga streich on the sidelines with the shoulder to the ground checked. The 54-year-old was uninjured and later accepted the defender’s apology.
"David abraham must not do something like this. He was emotional and felt provoked, but that can’t happen to him. He knows that, too," said fredi bobic, head of sports, about his professional player’s red-card outburst. "We have spoken to him and told him that we do not accept such actions and do not want to see them again," said hutter.
Abraham now faces a mandatory suspension of at least six games, he is already automatically suspended. The control committee of the german soccer federation (DFB) will, as usual, submit an appeal to the sports court in the case of expulsions from the pitch. The board can make a decision in an individual judgement or in an oral or written hearing. A date for the judgment has not yet been set.
