Peru captain Paolo Guerrero will be available for Russia 2018 after FIFA halved his doping-related suspension.

Guerrero will now serve a six-month ban, reduced from one year, and be able to lead his country in their first World Cup in more than three decades.

Guerrero's lawyer, Pedro Fida, revealed the news on local TV channel Canal on Wednesday night.

The attorney said the striker's legal team would continue to fight to clear his name after failing an anti-doping test for cocaine.
