Arsenal defender Gabriel's appeal for wrongful dismissal against Chelsea has been successful.
Gabriel, 24, was sent off by referee Mike Dean for violent conduct after a clash with Diego Costa during the Blues' 2-0 victory at Stamford Bridge.
The successful appeal means he will now not serve a three-match suspension.
The Brazilian is subject to a separate Football Association charge of improper conduct to which he has until 18:00 BST on Thursday to respond.
That relates to him failing to leave the pitch immediately after being sent off.
Chelsea striker Costa, meanwhile, was charged with violent conduct following a clash with Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny.
He has until 18:00 BST on Tuesday to respond.
