Newcastle had come from 2-0 down to make it 2-2 when the game was called off

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 unnamed person is now recovering 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."
