EXITING Sydney defender Mark Rudan CAN play in his final game for the club against Perth Glory next weekend, the FFA have confirmed.
To see highlghts from Rudan's Sydney career...
Rudan was facing a possible ban after a shoulder charge on Jets star Joel Griffiths in Friday night's F3 Derby against Newcastle.
Griffiths was apparently knocked unconcious in the off-the-ball incident and video replays suggested it had been Rudan who delivered the bodycheck.
He could have faced a suspension from the FFA match review panel had they decided to take action.
And a ban would have meant Rudan - dubbed The Big Blue Man by Sydney fans - would have missed his farewell game before jetting off to Japan to join Avispa Fukuoka.
But this afternoon the FFA revealed they planned to take no further action over the collision.
An insider added: "We're not going to rain on his parade."
