Ibrahamovic has ban reduced

Paris - Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan
Ibrahimovic on Friday had his four-match
domestic suspension reduced to three games
by the French league.
The league's decision follows a
recommendation from the French Olympic
Committee (CNOSF), to whom PSG had
appealed their case in an attempt to have the
suspension reduced.
The Swedish striker was banned following an
extraordinary outburst after PSG's 3-2 defeat
at Bordeaux last month, when he appeared to
insult a match official as he left the field.

And he went on: "In 15 years, I have never
seen such a referee. In this shit country, this
country does not deserve PSG. We are too
good for this country."
Amid a political furore, Ibrahimovic quickly
made a video apology for the comments.
The reduction of his ban means he still
misses Ligue 1 games against Nice, Lille and
Metz but will now be available to feature at
Nantes at the start of next month.
Meanwhile, Marseille's Dimitri Payet also had
his ban reduced from two games to one plus
a further game suspended for now, as
recommended by the CNOSF.
Payet was punished for an outburst at the
end of OM's 0
