The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 international has been informed that his red card is rescinded for an alleged handball on Saturday, after the match official issued a public apology to the Bundesliga outfit
Borussia Dortmund star defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfL-Wolfsburg-c40881 over the weekend. He has been told that he will be available for the reigning champions’
next league clash after he was cleared off the charge of a deliberate handball.
The Bundesliga fixture saw the young prodigy sent off for deliberately handling the ball in the penalty area, meaning a penalty-kick awarded to the away team at Signal Iduna Park. As a result, Wolfsburg attacking midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-c11058
duly converted the spot-kick to equalise for the visitors.
After the encounter, official Wolfgang Stark said sorry for his errors in the league game admitting that he was wrong to award the penalty and hand Schmelzer a red card. Therefore, the German Football Association cancelled the
booking after analysing the referee’s comments.
DFB claimed that a red card is followed by at least a one match suspension, as FIFA backs the decision of their officials, but due to the nature of the event they have decided to rescind it. They announced that the referee has
admitted his mistake and the matter is now resolved.
"Normally, the sending off of a player leads to a ban of at least one match, since FIFA generally protects the decisions of referees," a DFB statement added.
"The only exception is if the sending off is obviously and undoubtedly based on an error by the referee," the official was quoted as saying in an interview.
"He should have been nominated for the Nobel Peace prize,” the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/1-FSV-Mainz-05-c38166 05 player mused.
"Like players who have a poor run of form; [referees] should also be rested," the 2012 German Football Manager of the Year finally concluded.
Dortmund head coach Jurgen Klopp admired his full-back as he was very calm during his sending off, despite being completely innocent. He stated that Schmelzer should receive the Nobel Peace prize for his exemplary behaviour.
