County manager Michael Flynn demonstrated after the game that Inniss was alleged to have bitten Hannam.
Flynn said:”Their participant said he got bitten, so I will take a look at this and learn exactly what happened. If he has, it’s inexcusable and that I won’t be fighting his corner.”
Inniss could have functioned a three-game ban for his dismissal however absence may be longer after confirmation from the Football Association that he had been charged over the incident.
An FA spokesperson said:”Ryan Inniss has been charged with being in breach of FA Rule E3(1) after a dismissal during the EFL Trophy match between Newport County and West Ham Utd U21s on Wednesday [04/09/19].
