The Court of Arbitration for Sport
(CAS) on Friday quashed AC Milan's ban from taking part in next
season's Europa League for allegedly breaking UEFA financial
fair play rules.
Milan had appealed the recent decision by UEFA's adjudicating
chamber.
The CAS said the fair play rules had been broken but the
penalty was disproportionate.
It sent the case back to the UEFA chamber for a proportionate
punishment.
Coach Rino Gattuso has said that his side will prepare to
take part in the Europa League, hopeful that the UEFA
ban will be overturned.
"The aim from this afternoon on is to prepare ourselves
mentally to play in the Europa League," Gattuso told reporters
on July 9.
"We earned the right to take part on the field. If we can't
play in it, never mind, we'll go forward seeking other goals and
stimuli.
