Molinaro cops three-match ban

8 February 2012-PA Sport

Stuttgart's Cristian Molinaro has been banned for three matches after his sending off in the 2-2 draw at Bayer Leverkusen last weekend.

The German Football Association confirmed the Italian left-back had been banned for 'a crude tackle'.

The 28-year-old was shown a straight red card for the foul on Andre Schurrle in the 90th minute of the match.

Molinaro will now miss the Bundesliga matches against Hertha Berlin, Hannover and Freiburg, but is available for his side's DFB-Pokal quarter-final with Bayern Munich.
