Borussia Dortmund youngster Samuele Inacio has been suspended for two Bundesliga matches following his red card against Hamburger SV.
The 18-year-old forward was sent off during Dortmund's 2-0 victory over HSV in their opening Bundesliga game of the season last Saturday.
Referee Felix Zwayer showed Inacio a straight red card in the 77th minute after the Italian midfielder caught Albert Gronaek with a mistimed tackle.
The German Football Association's (DFB) sports court has now confirmed the two-match suspension.
Inacio will therefore miss Dortmund's next two Bundesliga fixtures against TSG Hoffenheim on 5 September and SC Paderborn on 12 September.
