Matheus Nunes: Wolves midfielder avoids three-match ban as red card overturned by FA

Wolves midfielder Matheus Nunes has avoided a three-match ban after his red card in Saturday's 4-2 home defeat by Leeds was overturned by the Football Association.

The unused substitute was dismissed for remonstrating with officials after Rodrigo's late goal for the visitors.

Wolves felt it should have been disallowed for a foul in the build-up by Marc Roca on Adama Traore.

"It's not a red card," Wolves boss Julien Lopetgui said after the match.

"He was complaining about the linesman."

"Nunes will be available for the next three Wolverhampton Wanderers games following a successful claim of wrongful dismissal," the FA said on Tuesday.
