Newcastle United advances in Carabao Cup as Amar Dedic suffers hamstring injury
Summary

Newcastle United progressed in the Carabao Cup on September 8, 2026, following a 1-0 victory over Millwall at The Den. Joe Willock scored the decisive goal to secure the win in a match Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle described as a physically challenging test. Defender Amar Dedic was withdrawn at halftime after reporting hamstring discomfort, a decision Jaissle characterized as precautionary. Tino Livramento replaced Dedic at the break, gaining valuable playing time as he continues his recovery. Meanwhile, the club is managing the fitness of young forward Matias Fernandez-Pardo, who remains on a gradual training program similar to a pre-season regimen. Newcastle continues to prioritize player health while building physical momentum across domestic competitions.
