The League Cup secretariat finally decided to postpone the match between Newcastle and AFC Wimbledon on the 23rd. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe had a press conference scheduled for the AFC Wimbledon match, but it was canceled.
AFC Wimbledon made headlines in the second round for producing an extraordinary win over Ipswich Town in the Premier League. AFC Wimbledon, which drew 2-2 with Ipswich Town, won the shootout 4-2.
Newcastle, who finished runner-up in the League Cup in the 2022-2023 season, won the penalty shootout 4-3 after drawing 1-1 despite bad luck facing Nottingham Forest in the Premier League in the second round.
It is unclear when the rescheduled match will take place. However, if the damage to the stadium is serious, it could face another problem, such as moving the stadium.
