Two-Game Ban for Dzeko - Schalke Files Appeal - Edin Džeko faces two-match ban after red card in Schalke's loss
Schalke 04 striker Edin Džeko has received a two-match ban after a red card in the recent game against Hannover 96. The club plans to appeal the decision
The incident happened in the 52nd minute of Schalke's match against Hannover 96. Džeko was shown a straight red card for a high challenge that struck Hannover's Husseyn Chakroun in the upper body. The referee deemed the tackle dangerous
The outcome of Schalke's appeal will determine whether Džeko plays in the next two matches. If the ban stands, the team will have to adjust its attack without one of its most experienced forwards. The DFB's final decision is expected in the coming days.
