Mexico winger Jesus Arellano has earned a World Cup reprieve.

Originally handed a three-match suspension by FIFA after being sent-off in Mexico's qualifier with Costa Rica, the world's governing body have now reduced it to two.

After missing the last game in the qualifying stages, Arellano will now be absent from just the first game in Japan and South Korea against Croatia on June 3.

He will be able to be selected for their next game against Ecuador on June 9.

"We are very satisfied, we appealed and fortunately it has been resolved in our favour," team director Ricardo Alberto Pelaez told el Universal.
