The German Football Association announced on its official website that the Frenchman Marcus Thuram, the Borussia Monchengladbach striker, has suspended six matches for one match and is fined 40,000 euros, after he spat on Hoffenheim Hoffenheim player Stefan Bush in the German League.
The German Federation said: "The suspension will be for five matches, with the suspension of the sixth match until December 21, 2021."
Marcus Thuram (23 years old), son of 1998 FIFA World Cup champion Lilian Thuram, had apologized for his movement and said: “Something came from me that has nothing to do with my character and should never happen .. Something happened wrongly and was not intentional. From everyone, from Stephen Bush, from my competitors, from my colleagues, from my family, and everyone who saw the movement I took.
