The Football Association has confirmed that an independent Regulatory Commission has upheld a claim of wrongful dismissal in relation to young defender Myles Lewis-Skelly.
The decision effectively overturns the three-match suspension imposed on the player following his red card in the recent Premier League match against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Lewis-Skelly was sent off during the encounter, a decision that was met with immediate criticism from Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and many football pundits.
The club subsequently lodged an appeal, arguing that the red card was unjustified.
After a thorough review, the independent panel agreed with Arsenal’s assessment, finding that the original decision was incorrect.
This crucial victory means that Lewis-Skelly is immediately available for selection and can once again contribute to the Arsenal squad.
The successful appeal will come as a significant relief to the young defender and a boost to the Arsenal team, who are currently vying for top honors in the Premier League.
