Newcastle will receive 30 medals to hand out amongst themselves, and it wi⛦ll be left up to the Magpi⛦es to decide who gets one.
Almiron, who could’ve moved to Saudi Arabia, made four appearances i❀n the Carabao Cup before heading to Major League🍨 Soccer in January, featuring in the quarter-final victory over Brentford and the 2-0 win over Arsenal in the first leg of the semi-final.

| Third Round | AFC Wimbledon | 1-0 | 90 | |
| Quarter-Finals | Brentford | 3-1 | 13 | |
| Semi-Finals 1st Leg | Arsenal | 0-2 | 14 | |
In regards to Kelly, who Tottenham considered signing, the defendꦰer played three Carabao Cup games before his move to Turin, also featuring in the first leg of the semi-final, as well as the third and fourth round wins over Wimbledon and Chelsea.
