FC Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski will be able to play against Espanyol in Saturday's La Liga derby after a court here granted him a temporary reprieve from a three-game ban.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Lewandowski was sent off in Barcelona's 2-1 win at Osasuna in November and was thus given a one-game ban that was extended for two more games after he made further gestures towards match officials.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Spanish Football Federation's appeal committee rejected his first appeal, and the Administrative Sports Tribunal in Spain also rejected Barca's appeals, reports Xinhua.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
However, on Friday, the Central Litigation Court in Madrid accepted the appeal and temporarily suspended the ban "provisionally until the definitive resolution is solid."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The striker was also due to miss matches against Atletico Madrid and Getafe.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
