Wayne Rooney
WAYNE Rooney's Euro 2012 ban has been reduced to two matches following a successful appeal to UEFA and he will now be available for England's third group match against Ukraine.
UEFA's three-man appeals panel today reduced his original three-match ban imposed for his red card against Montenegro.
A UEFA spokesman confirmed that the ban for the third match will be suspended for four years - and will only kick in if he is sent off in another European match.
Rooney has also agreed to do some coaching in the community, said the spokesman.
