Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Brad Jones has been cleared to play this weekend after winning an appeal against his sending-off in the 1-0 defeat by Leeds United.

The 24-year-old was dismissed midway through the second half of the Hillsborough reverse on August 27 for bringing down David Healy, who tucked away the resulting penalty to settle the game.

However, after the FA reviewed video evidence of the incident, they decided to rescind the red card and clear Jones of an impending one-game ban.

Australian Jones joined the Owls at the beginning of August on loan from Middlesbrough and has impressed on his five outings for Wednesday.
