Watford striker Steven Kabba is free to play against Coventry City on Saturday after having his red card from last weekend's defeat at Hull City rescinded.

Kabba was adjudged to have jumped in dangerously on Sam Ricketts and was sent off by referee Uriah Rennie with 15 minutes remaining in the 3-0 defeat at the KC Stadium.

Kabba, who would have been banned for three games, was furious at the decision and had to be shepherded down the tunnel by a member of the Hornets backroom staff.

However, he is now free to play this weekend after a Football Association disciplinary panel overturned Rennie's decision.

Elsewhere, Darius Henderson and John Eustace will sit out Coventry's visit to Vicarage Road through suspension.
