Andre Onana will return to action in November after ban for positive drugs test is cut from one year to nine months after Ajax keeper claimed he took his wife's prescription diuretics by mistake when feeling sick and looking for aspirin

Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana had his ban for a positive doping test cut to nine months on Thursday and can resume playing in November.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport said its judges found Onana was not at significant fault and reduced his one-year ban by UEFA. The ban now ends on November 3.

The ruling could see Arsenal step up its reported interest in signing the 25-year-old Onana, who is cleared to play for Cameroon at the African Cup of Nations in January.

Onana tested positive last October for furosemide, a banned diuretic often used as a masking agent to hide the presence of other drugs.
