FIFA have overruled the CBF to clear Robinho for Real Madrid ahead of Sunday's title decider against Real Mallorca.

Real's front office received a fax from FIFA last night clearing him from international commitments for the game - so going against the wishes of Brazil coach Dunga who had demanded Robinho's presence for their Copa America preparations.

There had been threats of points being deducted, but FIFA have sided with Real in the dispute.
