Charlton forward Chuks Aneke will be free to face Wigan on Tuesday night after his appeal against Saturday’s red card against Blackpool was successful.

Aneke was shown a straight red after he caught Daniel Ballard with an elbow in the 85th minute of the match – reducing the Addicks to nine men after Darren Pratley had already been dismissed.

It was a second red card in the space of a few weeks for Aneke, who was also sent off against Gillingham on February 13, but he will avoid a ban after Charlton appealed against the decision.

“Chuks Aneke’s three-match suspension has been removed by an independent regulatory commission following a successful claim of wrongful dismissal,” an FA statement on Monday evening read.
