"Christian Kabasele's one-match suspension has been withdrawn with immediate effect after his wrongful dismissal claim was upheld," the governing body said in a statement.

The Congolese-born Belgian has started all six of Watford's league games this season. The team lie fourth in the table, a point and two places above Arsenal, whom they visit on Saturday.
