Manchester United midfielder Casemiro will make the Carabao Cup final.
The Brazilian midfielder, 30, was sent off on Saturday after a VAR check revealed Casemiro had has hands around Will Hughes' neck during a melee against Crystal Palace.
He was then dismissed by Andre Marriner upon the advice of Video Assistant Referee Tony Harrington.
United held on to win the game 2-1 despite being down to 10 men, but Casemiro's importance to the team cannot be overstated.
This led to Erik ten Hag and Co considering whether to appeal his red card to try and make him available for the double-header against Leeds and the fixture against Leicester.
Ten Hag admitted the club were considering an appeal, but ultimately opted against it.
If the Red Devils had appealed the ban, there was a chance of Casemiro being handed a further one-match suspension.
This would have ruled him out of the Carabao Cup final on February 26 and denied United an instrumental cog in their system against top-four rivals Newcastle.
