Manchester United have succeeded in their attempts to get Aaron Wan-Bissaka's Champions League suspension reduced, with UEFA confirming the right-back no longer has to serve a two-match ban.
Wan-Bissaka was dismissed for a clumsy challenge in the first half of September's 2-1 defeat to Young Boys and was subsequently handed a two-game ban after the tackle was deemed to be 'rough play'.
As a result, he missed the victory over Villarreal and had been scheduled to sit out the visit of Atalanta on October 20, but UEFA have now downgraded the decision to a standard red card, rather than anything malicious.
It means Wan-Bissaka's suspension has been dropped to one game, which he served against Villarreal, so he is now free to play against Atalanta.
The news will come as a huge boost to manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who knows that his side are in need of a victory at Old Trafford if they are to avoid falling further behind than they already are.
