UEFA has ruled that Didier Drogba was eligible to play for Galatasaray in the Champions League last-16 round last week.
UEFA says its disciplinary panel dismissed Schalke's protest lodged after the Ivory Coast forward played in a 1-1 draw in Istanbul last week. Clubs fielding ineligible players risk forfeiting matches. Schalke questioned Drogba's status following his January transfer to Turkey from Shanghai Shenhua. The Chinese club has filed a breach of contract complaint with FIFA. Drobga claims his salary was not being paid. FIFA provisionally cleared the striker to play while its legal department studies the case.
