Inigo Calderon can play on Saturday now after his red card against Newport was rescinded
* Albion have won their appeal to the FA against Inigo Calderon's controversial red card in Tuesday's Capital One Cup defeat by Newport County at The Amex.
* The Spanish full-back was facing a three-match ban for a challenge which left Newport defender Byron Anthony with a broken leg but he will now be available for Saturday's home game against Derby County, the trip to Birmingham on August 17 and Burnley's visit a week later.
* Referee Brendan Malone dismissed Calderon midway through the second half, with Albion leading 1-0. The decision proved pivotal as County went on to win 3-1 after-extra-time.
* Replays showed Calderon was trying to kick the ball and to take evasive action as Anthony slid into a 50-50-challenge.
