But now the tribunal has just as easily found out that the \u00d6nnered player has had his last involvement in this season&#8217;s regular season.  Reason?  An apparently deliberate and targeted elbow to the face of opponent Oskar Hedvall in the final second of the series match between Hallby m\u00e5ndag and \u00d6nnered in the Swedish top division.  The dispute completely flared up after the assault, and Br\u00e4nnberger even had to endure being reprimanded by his own teammates.  &#8211; This is a serious offense which involved physical damage and which could have resulted in more serious physical damage than it did, says the disciplinary committee.  According to the handball channel, the recipient of the elbow suffered a concussion.  &#8211; I wanted to get away. The main character himself has not commented after the punishment was clear, but on Wednesday he commented on the episode itself for the first time.  UNREST: Christoffer Br\u00e4nnberger Photo: NICKLAS ELMRIN \/ BILDBYR\u00c5N &#8211; He (Hedvall) pushes me and pulls my shirt.  I want to get free and the elbow hits him in the face, by accident, is the explanation.  The linebacker points out that it is towards the end of the match, and that he is tired when the collision occurs.  &#8211; I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s hitting, but I notice that he&#8217;s lying down, so I react by thinking he&#8217;s filming, says Br\u00e4nnberger, according to G\u00f6teborgs-Posten.  The 30-year-old&#8217;s club has come out and condemned the behaviour.  &#8211; We distance ourselves from this action.  We let the process take its course, and then the association gets to come up with the conclusion.  Then we have to handle it internally, said \u00d6nnered&#8217;s elite manager Christoffer Persson before the punishment was ready.  Earlier penalty Br\u00e4nnberger was also in rough weather earlier in the season.  Then he was banned for eleven games after punching an opponent in the neck.  That punishment was reduced to six matches after an appeal, writes SVT.  IN TROUBLE: Christoffer Br\u00e4nnberger.  Photo: J\u00d6RGEN JARNBERGER \/ BILDBYR\u00c5N Br\u00e4nnberger also has the opportunity to appeal the new sentence, but it is currently not clear whether the 30-year-old will take advantage of it.  He has not made a statement after the sentence was announced.  Haslum coach Tom-Eirik Skarpsno has known Br\u00e4nnberger since 2014, when the Norwegian top club signed the Swede.  &#8211; He was known for getting a lot of red cards and playing on the border and sometimes over the border.  We gave a clear message that we don&#8217;t need anyone in the stands, and it went well with us, he says to news.<br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrk.no\/sport\/handballspelar-christoffer_brannberger-er-utestengd-fra-onnered-etter-takling-pa-oskar-hedvall-1.16232498\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ttn-69 <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; It is not usual that we hand out such severe punishments, says Pierre Grubbstr\u00f6m in the disciplinary committee to G\u00f6teborgs-Posten.
