The sanction imposed on Iliman Ndiaye, the winger of Olympique de Marseille, has been reduced. The Senegalese international is once again available to his coach Gennaro Gattuso.

The French Olympic Committee understood OM’s arguments. The CNOSF ruled in favor of the Marseille club wishing to see the sanction imposed on its winger Iliman Ndiaye reduced. The Senegalese international was suspended for three matches for an injury to Jeanuël Belocian on December 3 duringOM-Rennes (2-0, 14th day of Ligue 1).

The sanction was reduced to one meeting. Absent against OL (3-0) and Lorient (2-4), Iliman Ndiaye can play again against Clermont on Sunday in Marseille (15th day). Facing the Auvergne club, Gennaro Gattuso’s OM will try to achieve a fourth consecutive success in the Championship.
