Brunner addresses the earlier celebration
In mid-September, Brunner marked his goal in a 1-1 draw against Racing Strasbourg with a "head-off" gesture towards the opposing fans.
The league suspended Brunner for two matches, with a further two-match ban suspended.
Immediately after the Strasbourg match, Brunner said: "I wouldn't say I regret it, but that wasn't the message I wanted to convey. It was misunderstood. What I wanted to say was: 'What a goal, it's over.'"
In Sofia on Thursday, Brunner said: "I regret what I did and will learn from it for the future,"
Suspension and Foot-Mercato report
Brunner will miss Monaco's Ligue 1 match against Lorient as he serves the second match of his suspension.
According to a Foot-Mercato report, Dortmund secured a "matching right" when they sold Brunner. According to a Foot-Mercato report, the "matching right" allows Dortmund to match an offer for Brunner from another club and bring him back.
Brunner's strong form has lifted his market value to 15 million euros.
