Juventus' 15-point penalty over transfer dealings has been reversed.

The lifting of the points deduction means Juventus move up from seventh to third in the Serie A table.

Rather than Juve being cleared, the case will now return to the Italian Football Federation appeals court, the body which gave the initial punishment.

As a result of the decision, with eight games to go in the season, AC Milan are knocked out of the Champions League places while Roma drop to fourth.
