Milan have been allowed to take part in this season’s Champions League, UEFA have confirmed on Wednesday.
European football’s governing body were considering expelling the club from the competition on ethical grounds after they were punished as part of the Calciopoli probe.
However, after an emergency meeting, UEFA have given the Italian outfit the green light to enter the competition.
Milan were relegated to third in last season’s final Serie A standings and handed an eight-point penalty for the 2006-07 campaign.
The Rossoneri will play either Cork City or Red Star Belgrade in the third qualifying round next week.
