In a stunning late decision, the club’s appeal against Potts’ three-match suspension has been successful, meaning the young midfielder is now eligible to play immediately.
The red card against Burton Albion had threatened to sideline him for three crucial Premier League fixtures. But after reviewing the incident, the FA panel ruled in West Ham’s favour overturning the decision and wiping out the ban.
What Changed?
West Ham argued that:
The challenge was mistimed, not malicious
The punishment was too severe
The red card did not meet the threshold for serious foul play
After deliberation, officials agreed and the suspension has now been rescinded.
Massive Boost for the Hammers
With key fixtures on the horizon, Potts’ availability provides a huge lift for the squad. His energy, composure, and versatility in midfield could prove vital as West Ham look to climb the table.
Fans are already calling it a “season-saving decision” and the timing couldn’t be better.
Now the question is: will Potts start the next match and make an immediate statement?
