Wenger cleared for dug-out duty

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will be allowed to be at pitch-side for tomorrow’s Champions League play-off second leg against Udinese after UEFA agreed to defer his two-match ban.

The London club and European football’s governing body confirmed the decision tonight, after Arsenal appealed against the ban given to Wenger for breaking the terms of an earlier suspension during the first leg of their tie last week.
