Francis Uzoho, Nigeria goalkeeper, will make a return to action for Anorthosis Famagusta, a club in Cyprus, in a league game against Alki Oroklini on Monday after the Country's Soccer Authority cleared him.
Uzoho moved to the Cypriot club from Spanish side Deportivo La Coruna, however, was later found guilty of playing with an invalid health certificate against Apollon Limassol on his debut for the Blue White on February 2.
The 20-year old goalie bagged a one match suspension and fined €1,000 for appearing for Jurgen Streppel’s men with unauthorised paperwork while his club was imposed with a nine-point deduction.
After an appeal, the youngster was cleared of wrongdoing but the nine-point deduction from Anorthosis was upheld.
Capped 12 times by Nigeria, Uzoho played all three matches as the Super Eagles were booted out of the 2018 World Cup in the group stage.
