Can Lewis Hall play against Chelsea? Loophole to favour Newcastle in Carabao Cup

talksport.com, 18 December 2023, 15:57
Lewis Hall has been handed a boost ahead of Newcastle's clash with Chelsea in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals this week.

The defender is on loan at the Magpies from Stamford Bridge after making the temporary switch during the summer window.

Hall has made a total of seven appearances for Eddie Howe's side who have an obligation to buy him for £28million plus £7m in add-ons.

The 19-year-old has already missed a game against Chelsea this campaign as he was ineligible to face his parent club in a 4-1 win in the Premier League.

And this has led to the presumption that Hall will not be able to play in the quarter-final.

However, that has proved not to be the case…

Rules state that a loanee can play against his parent club in cup competitions if they give permission.

According to the Chronicle, Newcastle received permission from Chelsea last week and therefore Hall is available to play.

That will provide a huge boost for Howe who will need all players available having seen his squad obliterated by injuries in recent weeks.

Hall scored in a 3-0 win over Manchester United to reach the final eight of the Carabao Cup and he will now be able to try and make an impact against Chelsea.

The 19-year-old's future at Newcastle has been questioned due to the club's obligation to buy him at the end of the season.

When asked about the defender's lack of game time, Toon boss Howe admitted that he may not be staying at St James' Park.

He said: "You're probably asking the wrong man, I'm not 100 per cent sure.

"It's not [my decision]. For me, he's here now, he's a Newcastle player. But I think there's certain criteria he has to meet."
