Fellaini free to play Wolves

Marouane Fellaini will be available to play for Everton against Wolves this weekend despite the Belgian football association's appeal to FIFA, the Merseyside club have been assured.

The Belgian authorities had sought to invoke the 'five-day' ruling after Fellaini, who played in his country's 2-0 win over Turkey on Saturday, missed last night's World Cup qualifier in Estonia following an operation to have a wisdom tooth removed.
