Newport's Mitchell Rose is free to play against Morecambe despite being sent off on Saturday.

The Exiles announced Rose's appeal for his stoppage-time dismissal against Cambridge was successful, removing the one-game ban he was due to serve.

However, the midfielder could still land himself in trouble further down the line having knocked the red card out of referee Trevor Kettle's hand once it was brandished.

Veteran midfielder Darren Jones is still banned, though, as he completes a two-game suspension.

Morecambe boss Jim Bentley may keep faith with the team that defeated Crawley at the weekend.

Bentley made five changes, most of which were enforced, as the likes of Rhys Turner, Liam Wakefield and Anthony Evans all impressed having been brought in.

With Peter Murphy still suspended and fellow midfielder Alex Kenyon (knee) out injured, Bentley's thin squad has been stretched, though Andy Fleming (suspension) and Dean Winnard (illness) have now returned.

Bentley will also be mindful that both Ryan Edwards and Michael Rose are one caution away from triggering a suspension themselves.
