Anthony Stewart’s red card against MK Dons has been overturned, Wycombe Wanderers have confirmed.
The 29-year-old was sent off five minutes before half-time for fouling Troy Parrott in the Chairboys’ penalty area.
He was subsequently given his marching orders for the tackle, and Parrott picked himself up to score the resulting penalty, in a 1-0 win for Liam Manning’s side.
The FA's statement reads: "Wycombe Wanderers FC’s Anthony Stewart will be available for their next game following a successful claim of wrongful dismissal.
Apology taken back but thanks for all the nice messages and words of encouragement! 💙 Win, Draw and Learn together 👊🏾 @wwfcofficial https://t.co/C7Q3b7wKJ9

"The defender was sent off for denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity against Milton Keynes Dons FC in the EFL League One on Saturday [25/09/21] but his suspension has now been removed by an independent Regulatory Commission."
Stewart is now available to be included in the Chairboys’ matchday squad for their away trip at Shrewsbury Town on Tuesday, September 28.
Gareth Ainsworth’s men have got a very good record against their League One opponents, as Wycombe have only lost three of the 27 matches they have played Shrewsbury.
They have won 11 matches and have drawn the other 13.
The match will kick-off at 7.45pm.
