A selection of Arsenal fans reacted on Twitter after Andre Onana’s 12-month FIFA ban was reduced by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
The Ajax goalkeeper was banned in February this year for taking a drug for medical treatment, which was deemed an illegal substance.
In a hearing earlier today, the CAS acknowledged that the punishment was harsh on him, but they refused to overhaul the ban entirely.
However, the punishment was reduced by three months, and Onana can return to the playing field for his club starting from November 3.
The Cameroonian is allowed to join team training two months before that, and there is growing optimism that it could be with the Gunners.
The north London club have been in talks with Ajax for Onana since January. They could sign him for just £7 million with his contract expiring in 12 months.
Several Gunners fans were excited by the news that Onana’s suspension was reduced.
Here are some of the Twitter reactions.
