The German football association has started an investigation on Schalke midfielder Jermaine Jones after he allegedly stomped on Borussia Monchengladbach attacker Marco Reus in the game between the two sides on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

It is believed that the former Leverkusen man, who was dismissed in the second half, attacked the Germany international’s recently injured left foot, an incident that was missed by the referee.<\/p>\n

A statement on the DFB official website reads: “The player [Jermaine Jones] is under suspicion of guilt in assaulting his opponent in the form of extreme sporting misconduct.”<\/p>\n

Jones’ case is not without precedence in the Bundesliga as in 2009 Kevin-Prince Boateng, who was playing for Borussia Dortmund at the time, was set to receive a ban for allegedly stomping on Bayern Munich’s Miroslav Klose, but the DFB decided against suspending the player.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
