Bayern Munich striker Luis Diaz’s suspension has been reduced to two games on appeal after his reckless foul on Paris Saint-Germain’s Achraf Hakimi.
UEFA said on Friday that Díaz’s appeal on the charge of «serious rough play» was accepted, without specifying why.
That means he will still miss Bayern’s Champions League match against Sporting Lisbon on Tuesday, but could return against Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise next month.

Díaz scored twice before being sent off in an eventful 2-1 win against PSG last month. He made a wild lunge from behind and Hakimi’s left leg appeared to be trapped for a moment before he fell.
Díaz, unlike Cristiano Ronaldo, will still have to serve more than the mandatory minimum one-match penalty for a red card.
In an unusual decision last month, FIFA handed the Portuguese superstar a three-match ban, with two suspended for a trial period, for a serious offense against Ireland last month. That means he is unlikely to miss a single match at the start of his record sixth World Cup next year.
