The player, sanctioned last week due to a dispute over his transfer between OM and the English club Watford, "is therefore no longer suspended for the moment", explained a CAS spokesperson to AFP.

On the merits, the court based in Lausanne has not yet ruled on the decision of Fifa, which deprived the 22-year-old striker of all official competitions for four months for having signed a pre-contract with Watford before withdrawing. to reach Marseilles.

The young international, who had started his career in Le Havre in 2017, simply "obtained a suspensive effect" from this sanction, the time to examine his appeal, said the CAS spokesperson.

Pape Gueye therefore remains under the threat of a subsequent suspension, while OM have been subject to separate sanctions in the same case, i.e. a 12-month recruitment ban, as well as a fine of a little more two million euros.

The Marseille club announced its intention to appeal on Saturday.
