Griezmann available to play against AC Milan

On matchday three of the Champions League, in a game against Liverpool at the Wanda Metropolitano, Antoine Griezmann got sent off for an accidental high boot on Roberto Firmino which definitely looked worse than it actually was.

It was something which was protested a lot by the players and he missed the game at Anfield. There was added controversy as UEFA banned him for two games, one more than the standard punishment of one so the Frenchman was set to miss the game with AC Milan. 

This decision went down badly with Atletico Madrid, who decided to appeal to UEFA so that they could remove the extra match suspension. It looks the appeal has been successful and so Griezmann will be elegible to play against the seven time European champions. 

According to 'Marca', Atletico have been successful and the French international will be available for the fifth matchday. 

Griezmann, shortly after 'Marca' published  the story, tweeted heart emojis on Twitter. This would suggest that the club have told him about the good news.
