Bayern announced on the 11th (Korean time) through the club's website that "the German Football Association (DFB) has confirmed Palhinha's suspension. He is expected to miss this Tuesday's match against Union Berlin after the suspension of one league match was confirmed by the DFB. Palhinha received a direct red card in the match against Bochum."

João Palhinha's 2024/25 season has been marred by injury and the Portuguese midfielder had another setback against Bochum. Palhinha was sent off in the 43rd minute in the Bundesliga fixture for a forceful tackle. The 29-year-old was making his 12th league appearance of the campaign following a spell on the sideline due to injury.

Bayern Munich were on the wrong end of an inspired comeback, as Vincent Kompany's side suffered their first defeat in 11 matches.
