Crystal Palace defender Ryan Inniss has been charged with violent conduct after an accusation was made that he bit an opponent while on-loan with Newport County.

Inniss, on a season-long loan from Palace, was shown a red card in the closing stages of Wednesday's EFL Trophy clash with West Ham U21s.

The 24-year-old was dismissed after an off-the-ball incident with Hammers youngster Reece Hannam late in the match, which West Ham rallied to win 5-4.

County boss Michael Flynn revealed after the game that Inniss was alleged to have bitten Hannam.

Flynn said: "Their player said he got bitten, so I'll have a look at that and find out what happened. If he has, it's inexcusable and I won't be fighting his corner."
