Carlos Tevez has seen his two-match international ban reduced to
one on appeal.
Tevez was shown a red card for kicking Colombia's Ruben Dario
Bustos in an off-the-ball incident during the first half of
Argentina's 2-1 defeat in November's 2010 World Cup qualifier in
Bogota.
FIFA initially banned the former Boca Juniors star for two matches
but have now informed the Argentinian Football Association that it
has been reduced to one game, with one suspended for six
months.
Sir Alex Ferguson is sure to have mixed emotions about the news as
he would no doubt have welcomed Tevez being rested during the next
international break.
Indeed Tevez complained of exhaustion when last meeting up with the
Argentina squad - returning for the 1-0 defeat at Bolton where he
squandered a gilt-edged chance to earn a draw.
