Arsenal defender Myles Lewis-Skelly's Drie-Match suspension was destroyed by the football club after the club had appealed.
The Gunners had appealed to the decision to dismiss the player earlier on Tuesday.
“An independent regulatory committee has confirmed a claim of unlawful dismissal in connection with Lewis-Skelly and removed its suspension of three games,” the FA said in a statement.
The 18-year-old had received a controversial red card on Saturday in Arsenal's Premier League collision against Wolves.
The defender caught the Matt Doherty of Wolves above the ankle with a late challenge when the hosts wanted to launch a quick break in the final phase of the first half.

Riccardo Calafiori scored the only goal of the game to give Mikel Arteta a 1-0 victory after Wolves were also reduced to 10 men after a second yellow card to midfielder Joao Gomes.
“I am absolutely smoking. But I will leave it with you, it is so clear that I think my words will not help,” Arteta told Sky Sports after the game.
“It is so clear that we might not even have to be [put in an appeal]”He added.
If the suspension of three games had been, Lewis-Skelly would have missed the Premier League meeting of Arsenal with Manchester City on Sunday, the semi-final second stage of Carabao Cup against Newcastle United and a competition match against Leicester City on February 15.
Lewis-Skelly was released in Zeven van Arsenal's last eight Premier League matches.
