Arsenal succeed in Gabriel appeal

 

The Football Association have confirmed Arsenal have succeeded in their appeal to have Gabriel’s red card overturned.

 

Gabriel, 24, was shown a straight red card during Arsenal’s 2-0 defeat to Chelsea on Saturday for his involvement in a heated exchange with Diego Costa.

 

The Brazilian central defender’s three-match suspension has now been withdrawn with immediate effect making him available for selection for Arsenal’s Capital One Cup clash with north London rivals Spurs on Wednesday evening.
