The Swedish federation has banned Utrecht striker Alexander Gerndt from the national team after he was convicted of assaulting his former wife. The suspension is in place "until
further notice."
A Swedish court on Tuesday said the 25-year-old had intentionally struck his former wife on the thigh with a soccer ball during a game that turned violent and gripped her
by the throat after she destroyed his computer. Both assaults left bruises on the victim.
