Matheus Reis appeal accepted, available for Sporting v FC Porto | OneFootball

The South Central Administrative Court has admitted the injunction presented by Sporting, suspending the penalty applied to Matheus Reis after the events in the Portugal Cup match against Benfica.

Remember that the left-back of the lions was punished with four games for stepping on Belotti's head and with one more game for a phrase uttered - "here we step on the head" - during the celebrations.

Sporting appealed both sanctions from the FPF Discipline Council to the Sports Arbitration Tribunal (TAD) and to the TCAS, with requests for injunctions. The appeal relating to the four games was dismissed, but the request about the fifth game has now been accepted by the TCAS, suspending the application of this sanction.

This means that Matheus Reis, who will continue to be absent in the challenge with Nacional - 3rd round of the League and fourth game of Sporting this season - may be available for the fifth match of the season: the classic with FC Porto at Alvalade at the end of August.
