Under-21s match abandoned due to medical emergency

The young Magpies conceded twice in the opening 23 minutes at the LCFC Training Ground following strikes from Will Alves and Chris Popov before Dylan Stephenson’s quick-fire brace towards the half-hour mark drew the visitors level.

With the game situated at 2-2, however, the league encounter was abandoned due to medical assistance being required for a Leicester City staff member, resulting in the postponement of the fixture.

A rescheduled date and kick-off time for Newcastle United’s Premier League 2 clash against the Foxes counterparts will be confirmed on nufc.co.uk in due course.
