Van der Schaaf suspended for elbowing opponent

The Danish football federation says it has suspended Randers defender Remco van der Schaaf for two games after he deliberately elbowed an opponent in the face during a game.

DBU says television footage showed that the Dutchman hit Mads Justesen in 83rd minute of a match against Hobro. Randers won 2-0.

The federation says Van der Schaaf has apologized for the incident.

The 32-year-old Van der Schaaf, who has also played for Vitesse Arnhem, PSV Eindhoven, Burnley and Brondby, joined Randers earlier this year.
