The Argentina international may not play again this season after receiving a lengthy ban for his actions against Bayer Leverkusen
Stuttgart midfielder Santiago Ascacibar has been handed a six-week ban by the German Football Association for spitting at Bayer Leverkusen's Kai Havertz.
Havertz's 64th-minute penalty was enough to earn Leverkusen a 1-0 victory in the match on Saturday.
However, the goalscorer was on the receiving end of Ascacibar's saliva as the midfielder spat on him in the 91st minute.
