Bournemouth will have Evanilson available for their Premier League collision with Arsenal after successfully called against his red card in their 1-1 draw with Manchester United.
Evanilson initially received a yellow card from referee Peter Bankes after a tackle on Noussair Mazraoui, where the Brazilian seemed to slide when the defender is closed.
But after banks were sent to the monitor for a review on the field, the yellow was upgraded to a red card, so that the side of Andoni Iraola was left for the last 20 minutes to 10 men.
Rasmus Hojlund yielded an injury time Leveler to seal a part of the loot at the Vitality Stadium, so that Bournemouth dented the hope of sealing European football next year.
“An independent regulatory committee has removed Evanilson's three-match ban after a successful claim of unlawful dismissal,” read a statement from the football club.
We can confirm that Evanilson has withdrawn its red card from Sunday.
