The Football Association have overturned the red card that was shown to Mohamed Elneny during Arsenal’s 3-2 win over Southampton at the weekend.

Mohamed Elneny will be available for Arsenal’s next three games after an Independent Regulatory Commission accepted that he was wrongly dismissed for violent conduct against Southampton on Sunday 8 April 2018.
The Egyptian was want off for, shoving Cedric Soares but the FA have decided that a red card was too harsh of a punishment and as such, they’ve rescinded the card and the subsequent three match ban.
This means that the 25-year-old will be eligible to play in the upcoming league games against Newcastle, West Brom and Manchester United.
