Koller fined & suspended
Nuremberg's Czech international striker Jan Koller has been suspended for one league match and fined 15,000 euros (22,800 US dollars) by the German Football Federation (DFB) on Wednesday for spitting.
The 34-year-old, who joined Nuremberg from Monaco in January, was found guilty of unsportsmanlike behaviour at the end of his side's 2-1 defeat at Hannover last Saturday.
Koller had been involved in an argument with Albanian Altin Lala and was seen to spit at the Hannover midfielder, an action which the referee did not see.
Both Nuremberg, who are third from bottom of the Bundesliga, and Koller accepted the decision, said the DFB.
Koller will miss his side's home game against Hamburg on Sunday.
