Following the suspension, Atlético Madrid appealed the decision and FIFA the world governing body of soccer paused the suspension, enabling Trippier to participate in a match against Sevilla on Tuesday, which Atlético Madrid won 2-0.

If FIFA rejects the appeal the matter could be taken to the ICAS (international Court of Arbitration for Sport).

The FA was quoted as saying “We accept that the suspension is probably having a deleterious effect upon KT’s transfer prospects”.

Trippiers ban expires on 28th February, 2020.
