Fredrikstad's response
On Saturday evening, Fredrikstad sporting director Joacim Heier said their player did not recognize the accusations against him.
Heier said: "We have spoken with the player. He is sad and disappointed by the accusation. He feels he is being accused of using a word he is unfamiliar with—a word he definitely did not say. As a club, we have full confidence in our player; knowing him as we do, it is inconceivable that he would have said such a thing."
