Four Real Madrid players, including Vinicius Jr, Kylian Mbappe, Antonio Rudiger, and Dani Ceballos, have been cleared to face Arsenal in their Champions League quarter-final tie despite being punished by Uefa for indecent conduct.
Uefa had launched an investigation into allegations of misconduct by the quartet during Real’s last-16 win against Atletico Madrid.
However, the governing body has confirmed that no disciplinary proceedings will be taken against Vinicius Jr.
Mbappe and Rudiger were handed suspended one-match bans and fined £25,000 and £35,000 respectively for violating “the basic rules of decent conduct” under Uefa’s disciplinary regulations. Ceballos was fined £17,000.
The clearance means that all four players will be available for selection when Real Madrid face Arsenal in the first leg of their quarter-final tie at Emirates Stadium on April 8, and the second leg at the Bernabeu on April 16.
