Stoke City’s Rory Delap will be available to face Norwich in the Premier League next month after the Potters successfully appealed his red card from last weekend’s FA Cup fifth round win over Crawley.
The FA rescinded the red card shown to Delap for a lunging tackle in the first half of Stoke’s 2-0 win at the League Two side.
The experienced midfielder will now be available for the club’s upcoming league fixtures against Swansea and Chelsea as well as Norwich City’s scheduled visit to the Britannia Stadium on March 3.

Let's hope that none of our squad end up Delap-idated as a result.
