UEFA have partially accepted AC Milan's appeal against the two-match ban imposed on goalkeeper Nelson Dida, following an incident at Celtic two weeks ago.

The Brazilian guardian has been accused of playacting after he dramatically collapsed following the slightest of touches from an out-of-order Celtic fan.

The European champions announced on their official site (www.acmilan.com) on Monday that the appeal, which was handed last Wednesday, has been partially accepted by the European governing body.

UEFA's new ruling means that Dida, which was set to miss both group games against Shakhtar Donetsk, will now be available for the next game in Ukraine on November 6th.
