Reprieve for Eduardo as Adebayor awaits fate

ARSENAL striker Eduardo last night had his two-match Champions League ban overturned by UEFA, but Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor must wait until today to discover if he is to be punished by the FA for his indiscretions in City’s controversial 4-2 win over the Gunners on Saturday.

Eduardo was initially suspended for two games for allegedly diving to win a penalty against Celtic in their Champions League qualifier at the Emirates at the end of August.

Scottish FA chief executive Gordon Smith was quick to call for action against Eduardo and UEFA subsequently began an investigation, which Gunners boss Arsene Wenger lambasted as a “witch-hunt”.
