Union Berlin's Tom Rothe Suspended for One Game

Union Berlin's defender, Tom Rothe, has been handed a one-game suspension following a red card he received during the Bundesliga match against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. The suspension was announced by the German Football Association (DFB) and is now final, having been approved by both Union and Rothe.

The red card was issued in the 82nd minute of the match for foul-play that denied a goal-scoring opportunity for Hoffenheim's Tim Lemperle in the penalty area. However, no new details about the reason for Rothe's red card were provided in the paragraph.

Meanwhile, Diogo Leite, a Portuguese professional football player who was previously with Union Berlin, could return to the squad in their upcoming match against Eintracht Frankfurt. Leite had initially been excluded from training and matches due to his desire to leave the club, but since his representative Rothe was suspended, he stayed with the team.

The upcoming Union vs Eintracht Frankfurt match is scheduled for Sunday at 15:30 CET and will be live on DAZN. If Leite is included in the squad, it will be a welcome boost for Union Berlin, who will be looking to bounce back from their recent suspension-related setback.

Despite Rothe's absence, Union Berlin fans can still look forward to an exciting match against Eintracht Frankfurt. With both teams showing promising form this season, it promises to be a closely contested encounter.

No new details about Union Berlin's current roster or formation were provided in the paragraph. Additionally, no information about any other suspensions or disciplinary actions was mentioned, nor was there any new information about Tim Lemperle or the TSG 1899 Hoffenheim team.
