Groen received a red card in the match against FC Twente on Sunday, with the Excelsior player being sent off after a wild tackle on Robin Pröpper. Voetbal International reports that Groen had attempted to control a long ball with a high and stretched leg, but missed that Pröpper was also in the area, resulting in Groen's boot making contact with Pröpper's body. The referee, Erwin Blank, had no hesitation in sending Groen off, a decision that was later upheld by the video assistant referee. This means that Excelsior will have to play almost the entire match with ten men.
