LONDON , England -- Milan goalkeeper Dida has been cleared to play in next month 's Champions League match at Shakhtar Donetsk after partially winning his appeal to UEFA against a two-match ban . Dida has had one game of his two-match ban suspended for a year following an appeal to UEFA . Brazilian Dida was also fined 60,000 Swiss francs by European football 's ruling body following an incident involving a supporter during the Champions clash against Celtic in Scotland on October 3 . The 34-year-old Brazilian was initially banned for two games for his theatrics following a Celtic fan 's encroachment onto the pitch during the 2-1 defeat at Celtic Park . `` Following Monday 's appeals hearing , Dida is suspended for two matches , but one of the matches will now be deferred for a probationary period of one year , '' said a stement on UEFA 's Web site . Dida sits out the home tie against Shakhtar on Wednesday after an inquiry based on Article 5 , paragraph 1 of the UEFA disciplinary regulations ( Principles of conduct ) , under which `` member associations , clubs , as well as their players , officials and members , shall conduct themselves according to the principles of loyalty , integrity and sportsmanship '' . However , Dida will only serve the second match of his ban if he commits a similar offense -- a theatrical over-reaction -- during the next 12 months , freeing him for the trip to Ukraine . UEFA said that their Appeals Body `` took note that Dida expressed his sincere regrets as regards his conduct during the match . '' AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani was satisfied with UEFA 's decision . `` I believe it is fair -- I was against the two-game suspension but one seems OK. `` Dida has made a mistake but his error did not hinder anyone , not Celtic , nor any player , '' said Galliani .
