Leicester City v Newcastle United U21 game off after medical emergency

Leicester City's Under-21 game with Newcastle United was abandoned in the second half because of a medical emergency involving one of the Foxes' members of staff.

The Premier League 2 game at the LCFC Training Ground was 2-2 when the decision to call off the game was made.

Leicester initially said on social media "the staff member has been transferred to hospital".

A later update 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.

"The club expresses its thanks to Newcastle United, to the match officials and to on-duty medical staff for their cooperation, assistance and care.
