Odense goalkeeper Onyszko guilty of assault

COPENHAGEN (AP) - Odense's Polish goalkeeper Arek Onyszko was sentenced to jail on Wednesday after pleading guilty to an assault on his former wife.

Onyszko, who said he had acted in a fit of jealousy, was given a three-month sentence of which two months were suspended.
He told Odense City Court he that punched his former wife Anna Onyszko after dragging her down by her hair.

"I am very sad about what happened," Onyszko told the court. "And I regret what happened."

It was unclear whether the 35-year-old keeper would remain with the Danish club. On its Web site, Odense said it was taking "the necessary time to take the right decision."

Onyszko joined Odense in 2004 from Danish club Viborg, having started his career in Polish football. He was a member of the Poland team that won the silver medal at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona.

Odense finished second in the Danish league with 69 points behind FC Copenhagen, earning a place in next season's Europa League.
