Leeds Rhinos' Aidan Sezer has won his appeal against a 2-match suspension imposed for a Grade C intentional trip during Sunday's match against Salford Red Devils.
The successful appeal means his ban has been reduced to a Grade B charge with a one-game suspension. The halfback will still miss Friday's trip to Hull KR but is available for the following clash with Warrington at Headingley.
The former Huddersfield Giants ace was one of three Leeds players to receive bans after the Salford victory, with Rhyse Martin suspended for one match and David Fusitu'a being banned for two matches alongside Sezer at the time. Leeds opted not to contest either of those two, so all three will be unavailable for the trip to East Hull on Friday evening.
