Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes will be available for their upcoming match against Aston Villa after the club successfully appealed his red card from their recent game against Tottenham Hotspur. The Portuguese midfielder was initially set to serve a three-match suspension following his dismissal in the 42nd minute of United's 3-0 loss to Spurs at Old Trafford for a high tackle on James Maddison.
Fernandes' red card would have seen him miss crucial Premier League fixtures against Aston Villa, Brentford, and West Ham United. However, the decision to overturn the suspension means he will be able to feature in these matches, providing a boost for the team during a difficult period.
Manchester United released a statement confirming the outcome, noting that Fernandes’ dismissal was deemed wrongful. The club expressed relief that the 30-year-old will remain available for selection in their next three Premier League games.
Despite Fernandes' availability, United find themselves in a challenging position, sitting 13th in the Premier League standings with seven points from six matches. The club will be hoping to improve their form as they look ahead to their next set of fixtures.
