Preston North End right-back Darnell Fisher's three-match suspension for the straight red card he was shown in Tuesday's loss at West Bromwich Albion has been removed following an appeal.

North End successfully claimed it was a wrongful dismissal and the 25-year-old will now be eligible for Saturday's trip to promotion rivals Fulham.

Fisher was sent off on 64 minutes at the Hawthorns, with his side 2-0 down.

The initial decision came after a tackle on the Baggies' Callum Robinson.
