Jurgen Klopp gets touchline ban

Klopp gets touchline ban

Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp has been handed a one-match touchline ban by UEFA following his conduct during last week's Champions League clash with Napoli.

Klopp was sent to the stands for berating the fourth official during the 2-1 defeat in Naples, with the coach furious after Gonzalo Higuain's opening goal had been allowed to stand.

The ban will apply to Dortmund's first home game in Group F next week, when Marseille visit Signal-Iduna Park.

Dortmund are also without goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller for that clash through suspension, following his red card for a handling outside the area in the Napoli match.
