Arsene Wenger will be allowed on the touchline for the Champions League play-off second leg against Udinese after UEFA agreed to defer a two-match ban pending the outcome of an appeal.
UEFA decided Wenger had passed messages to Pat Rice in the dug-out through first-team coach Boro Primorac. The governing body issued the two-match ban against Wenger after he was found guilty of breaching the terms of an earlier ban and fined Arsenal €10,000 (£8,743).
Arsenal immediately indicated their intention to appeal, but for the purposes of speed then decided to initially seek a delay to the ban before contesting it fully. UEFA have agreed to the request.
