The Bundesliga game between Cologne and Mainz due to be played on Saturday was called off 40 minutes before kick-off after the match referee was found seriously injured in his hotel room, following what police called an "apparent suicide attempt".

 

The official, Babak Rafati, was discovered in the bath of his room on Saturday morning having "sustained injuries with no sign of any involvement by a third party," the police spokesman Andre Fassbender said. "It looks like a suicide attempt, yes."
