Terry suspension reduced on appeal

The UEFA Appeals Body has partially upheld John Terry's appeal against the three-match club competition ban imposed on the Chelsea FC defender at the end of last season.

Chelsea FC's John Terry has had his three-match suspension reduced on appeal.

Although the central defender is still suspended for three UEFA club competition matches, the third game of the ban has now been deferred for a probationary period of three years. The UEFA Appeals Body decided to partially uphold Terry's appeal against the three-match suspension handed down to him by the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body on 31 May.

The England player served the first game of his European ban when he did not participate in the UEFA Champions League final against FC Bayern München on 19 May. He will also sit out Chelsea's UEFA Super Cup match against Club Atlético de Madrid on 31 August.

The original punishment related to Terry's sending-off in the UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg at FC Barcelona on 24 April.
