CSKA Moscow are not to be thrown out of the Champions League by despite players Alexey Berezutski and Sergei Ignashevich being suspended for failing drugs tests, according to a report from Sky Sports News.
The suspensions occurred because the CSKA doctor had failed to inform UEFA that the pair were taking medication for a throat infection when they played against Manchester United on November 3.
UEFA's disciplinary committee will now meet next week to make a ruling on the two players' cases before the draw for the knock-out phases of the Champions League.
The duo did not play for their side against Besiktas last night because of their bans.
However, the club, who finished second in their group to Manchester United, will be able to continue to participate in the competition.
