Red Card Overturned

The group met today (Tuesday) and adjudged that Mark Clattenburg's decision to award the sending off for Bowyer's challenge on Damien Johnson had not been the right one.

The news will come as great relief to Alan Curbishley who is facing an injury headache in central midfield with Mark Noble struggling with a hamstring pull and long term absentees Scott Parker and Kieron Dyer out.
