Newcastle United to Play AFC Wimbledon in EFL Cup

News summary

AFC Wimbledon has extended an invitation to Newcastle United for a friendly match at Plough Lane next summer, expressing gratitude for the Magpies' support during their recent Carabao Cup tie. Despite a challenging week due to a sinkhole and flooding at their stadium, Wimbledon has performed well in League Two, currently sitting sixth and recently defeating Premier League Ipswich in the cup. In the cup match at St. James' Park, Newcastle secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Wimbledon, with Fabian Schär scoring from the penalty spot in stoppage time. However, Newcastle faces injury concerns with key players, including Alexander Isak and Kieran Trippier, ruled out or doubtful for upcoming fixtures. Eddie Howe acknowledged the challenges but emphasized the importance of progressing in the cup. The Magpies are set to face Chelsea in the fourth round later this month.
