Mahop’s one-match ban valid for T-Mobile Bundesliga

Louis Ngwat Mahop can play again in the top flight straight after Friday’s match against Mattersburg.

The young striking talent had picked up five yellow cards playing for Red Bull Juniors Salzburg in the Red Zac Erste Liga. There were therefore fears that the Cameroonian would not complete his suspension until the next match in that division on 14 March.

The club have however received confirmation that Louis will be eligible for selection again away to Austria Vienna on 23 February.

Heinz Hochhauser hailed the verdict as “a sensible decision”.
