Peter Utaka Cleared To Make Debut

Peter Utaka's registration has been resolved and he has clearance from the China Federation to make his debut for Beijing Guoan on Sunday against Chuks Akabueze's Wuhan Zall.

Recall that the striker signed a two - and - a - half - year contract with the capital team on Tuesday, arriving from rivals Dalian Aerbin.

But he could not make his debut 24 hours later in the cup game against Guaangdong because of missing paper work.

Chinese Super League rules state that each club is allowed to register only five foreigners per season.

And should a team decide to sign an extra foreigner in the summer transfer market, the buying club must loan out, sell or terminate the contract of another expatriate player.

29 - year - old Peter Utaka has netted 27 goals in his last 43 matches in the championship.
