Denmark and Brondby defender Daniel Agger has been banned for two games for violent conduct after elbowing Mattias Jorgensen in the head. The incident happened during the hotly-contested derby against Copenhagen on Monday. Match officials took no action during the game, which finished in a goalless draw, but the disciplinary committee of the Danish FA found Agger guilty having reviewed video footage of the incident.

Agger rejoined Brondby, who are fourth in the league table on 35 points, from Liverpool last August, and though their fortunes have improved since his return, they are still eight points behind city rivals Copenhagen, who are second.
