The two-match ban imposed on Nigeria’s Super Eagles and Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen by the Italia Serie A have been reduced to a match.
The Nigeria international was sent off on the opening day of the season against Venezia and was subsequently fined and suspended for two games.
After missing the game against Genoa, the club chose to appeal the ban and to get the sentence reduced.
The appeal committee of the football body met on Tuesday and after much deliberations and discussions, the ban was reduced to just one game.
The outcome of the appeal meant that Osimhen will be available for the Napoli clash against Juventus this weekend.
Osimhen brought Nigeria level in Mindelo Tuesday as the Super Eagles secured a 2-1 victory against Cape Verde in a world cup qualifier.
