And the right-back defender of the Ivory Coast national team Guy Demel received a four-match suspension for a rough misconduct.
The 25-year-old defender received this punishment for grabbing the opponent's captain Kevin McKenna by the neck during the match against Cottbus "Energie". For this misconduct, the player received a red card in Saturday's match, which ended in a 2-2 draw.
This disqualification should be a headache for HSV coach Thomas Doll: G. Demel, who usually plays in the right-back position, took over the center-back position after leaving the Hamburg club to Khalid Boulahrouz's team.
Another center-back, Belgian Daniel van Buyten, was sold to Munich's Bayern club by Hamburger earlier.
