Jose Holebas Set to Be Available for FA Cup Final After West Ham Red Card Is Rescinded

Watford defender Jose Holebas, who picked up a red card during his side's 4-1 defeat to West Ham on Sunday, has had his suspension overruled by the FA and will now be eligible to play in the Hornets FA Cup final clash with Manchester City on Saturday.

After the former Greece international was given his marching orders for allegedly denying Michail Antonio a clear goalscoring opportunity, a spokesperson has revealed that the FA have overturned Christopher Kavanagh's original decision.

Holebas has made 28 appearances for the Hornets in the Premier League this season and would have been left extremely frustrated if he were to miss what will be Watford's first FA Cup final in over 30 years.
