Soccer | Crew: MLS rescinds Parkhurst suspension; Wahl's status in question

A red card and accompanying one-game suspension erroneously issued to Crew SC captain Michael Parkhurst during a 3-2 win over New York City FC on Saturday has been rescinded by Major League Soccer, but the Crew could still be without a starting center back against visiting Houston this weekend.

Crew SC coach and sporting director Gregg Berhalter said this morning that the league retroactively issued the red card to Crew defender Tyson Wahl, the player that referee Ted Unkel meant to eject instead of Parkhurst.

The Crew has appealed Wahl’s red card. The appeal will be reviewed by the league’s three-person red-card review panel this week.
