RB captain Orban suspended for only one match

Willi Orban has only been banned for one match after being sent off in RB Leipzig's 2-0 win against FC St. Pauli. This was announced by the Saxon Bundesliga club. This means that the defensive boss can return for the next home game against 1. FC Heidenheim on February 23 (3:30 p.m.). He will only have to rest for Leipzig's away game at FC Augsburg next Friday (8.30pm).

Captain Orban was shown the red card against the Kiezkicker in the 69th minute after he was forced to make an emergency stop against Elias Saad. "We're losing our captain again because we're sloppy. That simply can't happen to us," said RB coach Marco Rose. Orban had already seen the red card on the first matchday after a similar situation against Bochum.
