The Court of Arbirtration for Sport (CAS) has granted permission for Real Madrid's youngsters named in FIFA's case of illegal signings to continue playing.
The players had initially been banned from playing altogether, subject to an appeal, but TAS have granted the club permission to play them subject to the ban being upheld following the club's appeal.
This is a ruling that was not allowed for the young players of FC Barcelona who had been involved in FIFA's case against the Catalan club.
The players for Real Madrid include the son of current manager Zinedine Zidane, which has provoked a particularly emotion and angry response from the Frenchman in his reactions to the ban.
"The Court of Arbitration for Sport has granted the precautionary measures that Real Madrid C.F. appealed for following the sanction issued by FIFA," read a Real Madrid statement on the issue.
"Therefore, the minors affected by said sanction may now play for their respective clubs."
