MADRID: Atletico Madrid are appealing to the Court of Arbitration for Sport after FIFA rejected their appeal against defender Kieran Trippier's 10-week suspension for violating betting rules in England, a club spokesman said on Monday .
The La Liga leaders had argued that an FA ban should not affect them as Trippier had not yet joined the club when he committed the infraction but a FIFA committee rejected their appeal on Monday, confirming the ban had"worldwide effect". Trippier, 30, missed two La Liga games due to the suspension but returned and provided an assist in last Tuesday's 2-0 win over Sevilla following the injunction.
