Borussia Dortmund defender Lee Young-pyo has been suspended for three games, English daily newspaper The Guardian reported on its Web site, Tuesday.
Lee received a red card in a home game against Energie Cottbus on Sunday, a match Dortmund drew 1-1.
The South Korean was dismissed when he outstretched his leg, catching Savo Pavicevic in the stomach in injury time.
The red card is the first of Lee's professional career, which started in 1999.
Dortmund have appealed against the German Football Federation's decision.
The 31-year-old Korean national team player joined the German team last August.
