MARK NOBLE will be available for West Ham's first fixture after the international break against Newcastle after the red card he received against Liverpool was rescinded.
The Hammers captain, who scored the second goal of his side's 3-0 Premier League victory at Anfield, was sent off in the 78th minute when referee Kevin Friend judged him to have fouled Danny Ings.
Noble insisted afterwards that his challenge was not even worthy of a yellow card and manager Slaven Bilic was equally critical, revealing his optimism that they would succeed with an appeal.
The FA today announced the red card had been overturned, meaning Noble is free to take on Newcastle in the game at Upton Park on Monday, September 14.
Aleksandar Mitrovic will not be available as Newcastle have opted not to appeal against the Serbian striker's dismissal in last weekend's 1-0 defeat to Arsenal.
