Leicester vs Newcastle clash abandoned as Foxes staff member rushed to hospital

Leicester's Premier League 2 fixture against Newcastle on Friday evening was abandoned following a medical emergency.

The score was 2-2 when the game, which took place at Leicester's Seagrave training ground, was abandoned. Leicester have thanked Newcastle, the match officials and medical staff for their cooperation. Newcastle have also offered their support on X. Leicester gave an update on the staff member's condition at 9:11pm on Friday evening. Their post on X read: "We are pleased to report that, following examination by on-site medics, the staff member has been released from observation to recover at home.

But Newcastle fought back thanks to a quick-fire brace from Dylan Stephenson, a 20-year-old forward who is yet to make his first-team debut for the Magpies. Stephenson spent the second half of last season on loan at Scottish side Hamilton. He endured an indifferent time in Scotland - winning the Challenge Cup but suffering relegation.
