Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 13 Oct, 19:44 · Archive

Blackpool midfielder George Honeyman's red card for violent conduct at Cambridge on Saturday has been overturned on appeal.

Blackpool captain George Honeyman will be available for their next three games after the club won an appeal against a red card he was given in Saturday's League One defeat by Cambridge. The 32-year-old midfielder was sent off for violent conduct in the sixth minute of the match.

The Football Association regulatory commission ruled that the dismissal was wrongful and overturned the automatic three-match ban that would have followed. This was Honeyman's first red card since being sent off at Cambridge for Millwall in August 2022.
