Arsenal defender Myles Lewis-Skelly's three-match suspension was overturned by the Football Association after the club lodged an appeal. The FA's independent Regulatory Commission deemed the dismissal wrongful following a controversial red card during a match against Wolves. Mikel Arteta expressed frustration at the decision and indicated the obvious nature of the situation made an appeal necessary. If upheld, Lewis-Skelly would have missed significant upcoming matches, emphasizing the impact of the suspension. He has been pivotal, featuring in seven of the last eight Premier League matches for Arsenal.
