Paul Dummett Misses Carlisle Debut After Car Crash

Former Newcastle United defender Paul Dummett missed his anticipated debut for Carlisle United due to a car crash he was involved in while en route to training. Dummett, who recently signed a short-term contract with Carlisle, sustained only minor injuries, including cuts and bruises, and was cleared to return to training on Monday. Carlisle's manager, Mike Williamson, confirmed that Dummett will be fit for the following weekend's match after undergoing tests. The team faced a disappointing 1-0 defeat against Bradford City without Dummett's experience on the pitch. Dummett had joined Carlisle to help the club avoid relegation from League Two, having previously played for Wigan Athletic after leaving Newcastle. He expressed his desire to play for Carlisle, viewing it as a good fit for him being close to home.
