Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas will miss just one Barclays Premier League match following his bizarre sending off against West Brom on Monday night.
It was originally thought that Fabregas would miss three games following his dismissal, however the Football Association have decided to reduce the Chelsea star's ban.
Fabregas will miss Chelsea's last match of the season against Sunderland on Sunday but will be able to start the opening game of the 2015-16 campaign.
A statement from Chelsea read: 'The standard sanction would have been a three-match suspension.
'However, following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing, the club's claim that a three-match suspension is excessive was successful.
'Fabregas will therefore now only miss our final game of the season against Sunderland on Sunday and will be available for selection from the start of the 2015/16 campaign.'
Fabregas was dismissed in the first half of Chelsea's defeat at The Hawthorns after hitting Brunt on the head from 20 yards while referee Mike Jones spoke to Gareth McAuley and Diego Costa after they grappled in the area.
