South Korean national team midfielder Jens Castrop of Borussia Monchengladbach hung his head after being sent off for the second time this season.
Castrop received a direct red card in the second minute of second-half stoppage time during Monchengladbach's away match against Wolfsburg at Volkswagen Arena in Germany on Monday, in Round 31 of the 2025-2026 Bundesliga season.
The referee issued the dismissal after Castrop attempted a reckless tackle while trying to block the opponent's counterattack.
The match ended in a 0-0 draw. Monchengladbach, now winless in five consecutive matches with three draws and two losses, remained in 11th place with 32 points from seven wins, 11 draws and 13 losses.
Wolfsburg sits in 17th place with 25 points from six wins, seven draws and 18 losses, failing to escape the relegation zone.
Castrop, who made his Bundesliga debut this season, now has two red cards for the campaign. He was also sent off for a rough tackle against Bayern Munich in October 2025.
Castrop, who drew significant attention as a foreign-born mixed-heritage player, has been playing for the South Korean national football team since September 2025.
While he is seen as a promising talent for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup in North and Central America, his frequent dismissals have drawn criticism over his inexperience in match management.
The red card suspension will keep Castrop out of the next two matches.
He is expected to return for the season finale against Hoffenheim on May 16.
