Leicester City defender Paul Konchesky will serve no suspension following his red card at Aston Villa after his dismissal was overturned on appeal, following an Independent Regulatory Commission.

Konchesky was shown a straight red card by referee Craig Pawson in the 80th minute on Sunday’s Barclays Premier League encounter at Villa Park. The referee’s report indicated that Paul’s dismissal was for violent conduct.

The Club submitted a claim for wrongful dismissal on Tuesday morning and was informed of the appeal's success on Tuesday afternoon.

Paul’s automatic three-match suspension has subsequently been lifted and he will be available for selection for Saturday’s Barclays Premier League visit of Manchester City to King Power Stadium.
