Sequel to the Red card awarded to Kieran Gibbs based on mistaken identity instead of Oxlade-Chamberlain in Saturday's six goal thriller against Chelsea, both players will now be available on Tuesday when Arsenal confront Swansea City on Tuesday night.
According to the FA's statement on Arsenal website that reads "An Independent Regulatory Commission today heard two claims from Arsenal, one of mistaken identity and the other of wrongful dismissal, both in relation to Saturday’s game against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
The commission ruled that the dismissal of Kieran Gibbs was a case of mistaken identity and transferred this to his team-mate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Subsequent to deciding this matter, the commission then considered Arsenal’s claim for wrongful dismissal in relation to Oxlade-Chamberlain. This claim was upheld, meaning Oxlade-Chamberlain will not serve any suspension with the standard punishment withdrawn with immediate effect."
