Norwich City midfielder Louis Thompson made a second half appearance for Shrewsbury Town in a 0-0 League One draw against Rochdale after sealing a season long loan move.

Carlton Morris is expected to be back for Rotherham United in 10 days after missing the Millers' 1-0 League One win at Burton with concussion.

Morris suffered a head injury six minutes into the midweek 4-0 EFL Cup win over the Shrews, with Paul Warne confirming prior to the weekend win he cannot be considered for a fortnight.

"He is alright, I spoke to him, he's alright, but with the protocol to protect players these days which is essential, he's not going to be available for two weeks," Warne told The Star. "That is what I am led to believe, unless I get good news that he has passed some of the protocol but I am led to believe."

In the same division, Belgian under-21 international centre back Rocky Bushiri made his full league debut for Blackpool in a 2-1 win against Oxford. The Seasiders have yet to drop a point from their opening three games. Fellow City loanee, James Husband, sat out the game as he continued to serve a suspension from his red card at Southend.

Fellow development midfielder Savvas Mourgos was not involved for FC Dordrecht in a 5-1 loss at FC Eindhoven on Friday night.

In Scotland, wide player Josh Coley was part of a Dunfermline squad who pushed Celtic all the way before losing 2-1 in extra-time in the Scottish League Cup.

Simon Power was not part of the Ross County squad who lost 3-2 to Thistle afte extra-time in the same competition.
