The investigation has been closed, the verdict has been passed down and already accepted by Diego and Werder Bremen. The Brazilian international has been issued a four game suspension by the German Football Federation’s (DFB) supervisory committee.

 

The 23 year old midfielder will have to sit out the Bundesliga games against VfL Wolfsburg, Arminia Bielefeld, Schalke 04 and Borussia Monchengladbach. Diego will be available for Bundesliga selection again on match day 21 (20 – 22.02.2009) when the Green-Whites take on Energie Cottbus. Werder’s playmaker will be eligible for the DFB Cup clash with Borussia Dortmund on 28.01.2009.

 

Close to the end of last weekend’s Bundesliga defeat in Karlsruhe, Diego was captured on film as he made a grip around the neck of KSC’s Christian Eichner. Referee Guido Winkmann didn’t note the incident himself but an investigation was later ordered by the DFB supervisory committee.
