Several Ligue 1 Uber Eats players - OM's Jordan Amavi and LOSC's Jonathan Ikone among them - can now kick off the new season on the opening day, having been granted exemption from unserved suspensions incurred last season.
Following a decision of the LFP Disciplinary Committee on 10 July, players who had up to three matches worth of suspension not fully served by 10 July 2020 - with the limit of three matches - will be exempted.
This means that the likes of Monaco striker Stevan Jovetic and OM stopper Alvaro Gonzalez will be available for selection by their coaches as Ligue 1 Uber Eats kicks off on the weekend of 21-23 August - or, for Saint-Etienne's Mahdi Camara and Timothée Kolodziejczak, earlier, in the Coupe de France final against Paris Saint-Germain on 24 July.
