Dutchman Fer was sent off in the 67th minute at Molineux following a foul on Helder Costa, which referee Anthony Taylor had viewed as violent conduct.

An FA spokesperson confirmed following the successful appeal, Fer would now be able to play against Newcastle at St James' Park, where the Swans will continue their battle to stay in the Premier League.
