Kylian Mbappe and Antonio Rudiger will be able to feature for Real Madrid against Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final despite receiving sanctions from UEFA.

The two are among four Real Madrid players investigated by UEFA after a report by Atletico Madrid.

The two other players include Dani Ceballos and Vinicius Jr.

Atletico had reported the four players to UEFA over excessive celebration in their Round 16 second leg clash in the Champions League.

After reviewing footage showing the four players allegedly taunting Atletico Madrid fans, UEFA opted for suspended sanctions, meaning the players will be available to face Arsenal in the quarter-finals.

Rüdiger received a €40,000 fine and a one-match suspension on probation for a year, while Mbappé was fined €30,000 with the same conditional suspension. Ceballos, meanwhile, was fined €20,000, but no action was taken against Vinicius Jr.

While Real Madrid avoids immediate suspension, the club must keep players in check or risk being punished.
