Cristiano Ronaldo will serve a one-match Champions League ban for his red card in Juventus' 2-0 win at Valencia, with UEFA's decision not to hand down a more excessive punishment clearing him to face former club Manchester United.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner was controversially dismissed following a clash with Jeison Murillo at Mestalla, although Juve went on to triumph through penalties from Miralem Pjanic either side of half-time.
Ronaldo will sit out Juve's match against Swiss champions Young Boys but the decision from UEFA's Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body means the ex-United favourite will be able to make his latest return to Old Trafford on October 23.
That red card was the first Ronaldo had ever received in the Champions League, but it will not cost him a United homecoming.
Unlike in the Premier League where violent conduct is met with an automatic three-match ban, UEFA opt to review incidents on a case-by-case basis.
A one-game ban is automatic, though "in case of serious offences, the UEFA control, ethics and disciplinary body is entitled to augment this punishment".
