Marcus Thuram,
son of the legendary Lilian Thuram
and Borussia Mönchengladbach player, was sent off in the 79th minute of the game against Hoffenheim for spitting in the face of his rival Stefan Posch.
The referee
Frank Willenborg
, at the request of the VAR, showed the red card to the Italian-French footballer, who is exposed to a strong sanction for a unanimously disapproved action.
Marcus Thuram himself, minutes after the match ended,
apologized through his social networks
: "Today something has happened that is not in my character and that should never happen. I reacted to an opponent in the wrong way and something happened accidentally and not intentionally. I apologize to everyone, Stefan Posch, my opponents, my teammates, my family and everyone who saw my reaction. Of course, I accept all the consequences of my gesture, "he said.
Borussia Mönchengladbach coach Marco Rose stated, after the match in which his team lost 1-2, that "on behalf of the club and personally as coach,
I would like to apologize
for the Marco Thuram incident and the red card" .
"Something like that doesn't belong in football. It went way beyond all limits and it's not appropriate. Marcus Thuram is a good player and a good person, he's very thoughtful and well-mannered. His fuses may have blown on that one. Now, it's the only way I can explain it. I'm sorry. You did the team a disservice by doing that, "the coach said.
