Sito Castro is available to line-up at Leeds United this weekend after having his red card against Norwich City overturned.
The Ipswich Town full-back was dismissed after just 18 minutes of the Blues' derby defeat on Sunday for a professional foul on City forward Kevin Lisbie.
However, an FA disciplinary appeal panel cleared the Spaniard after being shown video evidence of the incident.
Blues boss Joe Royle said: "It's great news and we thank the panel for their judgment.
"The referee is an honest guy and he made a genuine mistake which happens in football.
"It cost us the game, but that's gone now and we're delighted that Sito will be available for us this weekend."
