Newcastle United’s Carabao Cup third-round clash against AFC Wimbledon, set for Tuesday, has been postponed due to flooding at the League Two club’s stadium.
AFC Wimbledon reported that heavy overnight rain caused “extensive” flooding of the River Wandle and surrounding areas, making the stadium unfit for the 19:45 BST kickoff.
The match will now be rescheduled. AFC Wimbledon reached the third round after beating Bromley and Premier League side Ipswich Town on penalties.
Newcastle, last season’s finalists, entered the competition in the second round, where they also required a penalty shootout to defeat Nottingham Forest.
