DEVENTER, Netherlands: Edvardsen made gestures about Stuttgart midfielder Angelo Stiller’s nose during their Europa League match on Thursday.
A cleft lip, which can also affect the shape of the nose, occurs when parts of the baby’s face do not join together properly during development in the womb.
Edvardsen, who said he went into the Stuttgart dressing room after the game to apologise to Germany international Stiller, has been fined 500 euros (£432) by Go Ahead Eagles, who will donate the money to their social services fund. “I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for my behaviour,” said 29-year-old Edvardsen, who has one cap for Sweden.
“Things were said and done between us that have no place on a football pitch.
