Revolution defender Antonio Delamea's suspension rescinded, will play Saturday

Share

Revolution defender Antonio Delamea had his one-game suspension and fine rescinded and will be eligible to play in the Revs' game Saturday against Orlando City SC in Florida.

The Independent Review Panel, consisting of one representative from the U.S. Soccer Federation, one representative from the Canadian Soccer Association and one independent representative nominated by the Professional Referee Organization, unanimously rescinded the suspension and accompanying fine for the red card Delamea received in the ninth minute of the Revs' loss to New York City FC Sept. 7.

Each MLS team is allowed two unsuccessful appeals of suspensions per season, including the playoffs. Since the Revs' successfully appealed, they maintain two unsuccessful appeals for any future send-offs this season.

New England (10-10-9) is just above the playoff line with 39 points. Orlando (9-13-8) is four points below.
