- The DFB sports tribunal imposed a two-match suspension for rough play after the dismissal against Borussia Dortmund.
- Simpson-Pusey was initially shown yellow, but a VAR review led to the decision being changed to a sending-off during the 2–1 loss to Dortmund.
- The 20-year-old will consequently be absent against Hamburger SV and Borussia Mönchengladbach and could feature again in Frankfurt on April 5 at the earliest.
- Köln has now recorded its second red-card suspension of the season, after Rav van den Berg also had to miss two matches following a handball dismissal against Union Berlin in December.
If you look at the footage, there's no two ways about it. He simply came in too late and stamped on him from behind.— Thomas Kessler, FC Köln managing director, on the VAR intervention
