Peru captain Paolo Guerrero can play at this summer’s World Cup after a Swiss tribunal ruled on his drug ban.

The captains of Australia, Denmark and France have asked Fifa to lift the ban on Paolo Guerrero – the skipper of group rivals Peru – so he can play at this summer’s World Cup in Russia.

France are the team to beat in Group C of the World Cup. Despite some unconvincing results in qualifying Les Bleus will be disappointed if they don’t top the group.

Jefferson Farfan, also known as La Foquita (‘The Little Seal’), marked his return to the Peru setup with the opening goal in a historic night of football that saw Los Incas defeat New Zealand in the intercontinental playoff.
