Swansea have successfully appealed against Federico Fernández’s red card in the Capital One Cup defeat at Liverpool, meaning the defender is available for Saturday's Premier League trip to Everton.
The Argentine centre-back was sent off by referee Keith Stroud for a tackle on Philippe Coutinho during stoppage time in the 2-1 defeat at Anfield. The tackle was deemed serious foul play, which would have resulted in a three-match ban starting with the Everton match.
Swansea submitted a written statement and video evidence to the Football Association, and an appeals panel overturned the red card on Thursday afternoon. Manager Garry Monk had expressed disappointment at the decision, arguing it was not a sending-off.
Monk is scheduled to meet Mike Riley, general manager of the Professional Game Match Officials Limited, on Friday to discuss decisions he believes have consistently gone against his side this season.
Fernández is now free to play in Swansea's match at Goodison Park on Saturday, with the team currently sixth in the Premier League.
