Jose Holebas will be available for Watford's FA Cup final on Saturday after he successfully appealed to have a red card rescinded.
The left back was sent off against West Ham United in the final Premier League game of the season, but the FA has today confirmed that the club have successfully overturned the decision.
A tweet from the FA read: "An Independent Regulatory Commission has today [13/05/2019] upheld a claim of wrongful dismissal regarding José Holebas. The Watford player was sent off against West Ham United in the Premier League on Sunday [12/05/2019] for denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity."
The dismissal would have ruled Holebas out of the FA Cup final against Manchester City through suspension, but he will now be available once again.
