James Clarke suspended as Newport prepare for Bristol Rovers clash
Posted Thursday, March 03, 2022 by PA
James Clarke will be unavailable for Newport as they prepare to face Bristol Rovers on Saturday.
The 32-year-old defender was given his marching orders when he was shown a second yellow card in the 84th minute of their 1-1 draw with league leaders Forest Green.
County boss James Rowberry faces a defensive injury crisis, with Priestley Farquharson (knee) ruled out for the season and Josh Pask (hamstring) sidelined until April.
Midfielder Robbie Willmott is also facing a spell on the treatment table with a calf injury.
Sam Finley could return for Bristol Rovers for their trip to south Wales.
The 29-year-old midfielder was an unused substitute in Rovers’ 1-0 win over Barrow in midweek after recovering from a viral infection.
Midfielder Jon Nolan was also an unused substitute and is yet to make his bow for Joey Barton’s side.
Defensive duo Josh Grant and Alfie Kilgour remain sidelined.
