La Liga: Lewandowski available after court temporarily suspends three-game ban (Image Source: IANS)
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.
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.
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.
