After the fuss about Felix Zwayer after the Bundesliga match between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich, the referee takes a break.

»After his last international assignment before Christmas, Zwayer took a vacation for himself and is currently not active as a referee.

It's self-determined by him, "said DFB referee boss Lutz Michael Fröhlich of" Bild ".

Zwayer was heavily criticized by Dortmund after their 3-2 defeat in early December.

BVB young star Jude Bellingham attacked the 40-year-old particularly hard.

The Englishman had even indirectly accused Zwayer of bribery, alluding to the 17-year-old scandal surrounding Robert Hoyzer.

After that it had already been announced that Zwayer would not whistle any more BVB games for the time being.

According to the court records, Zwayer, who helped uncover the scandal, accepted money like Hoyzer at the time.

Fröhlich contradicted this again and said that there was testimony against testimony.

One would, however, have to "clear up this story about the Robert Hoyzer affair at some point," said the 64-year-old.

“I would really appreciate it if you really knew what happened back then.

This accusation of taking money or not taking money is in the room. «He himself has no reason to distrust Zwayer at this point, as long as the opposite is not proven.

"It would be impossible for me to run games with that burden."
