Semenyo in clear to face Toon despite Cherries cup run-out
NEWCASTLE UNITED boss Eddie Howe says he will have to take a Carabao Cup rule change on the chin as he prepares to face former transfer target Antoine Semenyo tonight.
Manchester City's £65million signing (above) is clear to play against the Magpies in the semifinal first leg - despite featuring for Bournemouth earlier in the competition. Players are now permitted to feature for two clubs in the same season after cup-tied rules were scrapped.
The rule is a bone of contention on Tyneside, given Martin Dubravka was unable to replace the suspended Nick Pope in the 2023 final after playing for Manchester United earlier that season. But Semenyo, fresh from a debut goal in the 10-1 FA Cup win over Exeter, will be part of Pep Guardiola's side.
