November 2025

The Arsenal loanee was sent off for dissent in a 4-1 defeat, his second red in five Bundesliga games. Hamburg finished with nine men after Immanuel Pherai’s earlier dismissal and dropped to 13th with eight points. Köln controlled field position through early goals from Ragnar Ache and Florian Kainz. Hamburg’s brief lifeline via Jean-Luc Dompé vanished after the double send-off; structure broke on set and secondary phases, conceding stoppage-time goals to Saïd El Mala and Jakub Kamiński. Two-match ban likely.
