Kuala Lumpur: A Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) decision on provisional measures delivered on Tuesday 17 March 2015 means Al Hilal (KSA) player Nassir Ali N Alshamrani will be eligible to play for his club in today’s AFC Champions League match against Foolad Khouzestan (IRN).
The CAS ordered a “stay” of the disciplinary sanction against the player for the next two of Al Hilal’s matches in the ACL. In addition to today’s match, Alshamrani will be eligible to play for his club on 8 April 2015 in the return match against Foolad Khouzestan.
The CAS will make a final decision on the sanction before Al Hilal's game on Matchday 5 of the competition, April 21 2015.
On 27 February 2015, the AFC Appeal Committee had previously dismissed Nassir Ali N Alshamrani’s appeal against a decision by the AFC Disciplinary Committee to suspend him for eight matches following his actions at the 2014 ACL Final Leg 2 (breach of article 57 of the AFC Disciplinary Code on offensive behaviour and fair play).
