BERLIN (Reuters) - RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita has been given a three-match Bundesliga ban after being sent off for a high tackle during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Borussia Moenchengladbach, the German football federation (DFB) said Monday.

The Guinean was sanctioned for "rough play" by the DFB's disciplinary tribunal after he went in with a high tackle on Gladbach's Christoph Kramer, earning a straight red card late in the game.
