The Ivorian striker will miss this weekend's match against Werder
Union Berlin director Christian Arbeit has confirmed that the German capital-based club has suspended their forward David Datro Fofana for a week following Union's 1-0 loss to Napoli in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.
The 20-year-old Ivorian striker was substituted off in the 70th minute and refused to shake the hand of coach Urs Fischer when coming off of the pitch. Fofana has since apologised to the Union boss, but he now must train individually before being reintegrated into the team on Wednesday.
Datro Fofana’s attitude is disappointing to see. You are a young player who has a lot to learn but displays the attitude one would expect from a top-level footballer.

This means Fofana will miss both the Bundesliga tie at Werder Bremen on Saturday, as well as the DFB Pokal fixture against Stuttgart next Tuesday.
Since joining from Chelsea on loan a few months ago, Fofana has played 11 times for Union Berlin across all competitions but has yet to score his first goal for the club.
