Newcastle's Perch has three-match ban shortened

Newcastle United defender James Perch has hid has his three-match ban brought back to one after winning an appeal.

The 25-year old saw red whilst playing for the Magpies reserves earlier this week but the club decided that they wanted to challenge the severity of the ban after reviewing the incident.

Perch was set to be unavailable for the next three Newcastle matches but now will only miss the April 10 clash with Aston Villa.

The former Nottingham Forest man has made 11 senior league appearances this term - the last being the 0-0 draw with Blackburn Rovers on February 12.
