Sako was dismissed in the dying seconds of Saturday's 2-2 draw at Molineux when Forestieir went down clutching his face.

Video evidence cleared the 26-year-old wideman of any wrongdoing and an FA panel yesterday overturned his three-match ban.

Forestieir tweeted Sako, saying: "Happy for you mate. Good luck for the rest of the season! Big talent. Now everyone needs to pray for Nick Cruwy."

Sako accepted the Argentina striker's peace gesture, replying: "No worries, all forgotten."

Saturday's red card was the first time Sako had been dismissed in professional football, either with Wolves or his previous club St Ettiene.
