Two of five football players facing match-fixing allegations were handed back their mainland re-entry permits yesterday so they can play in fixtures over the border.

Magistrate Garry Tallentire allowed Lee Wai-man, 25, and Chan Chi-keung, 28, to have their travel permits returned so they can travel to Shenzhen for matches to be held from today until Wednesday.

The permits must be returned to the court on Thursday. The pair will not be given their passports.
