• High winds force cancellation of flight from Newcastle
• 'We could end up travelling on Saturday morning'

Storm Éowyn has left Newcastle facing the prospect of a late arrival on the south coast for Saturday's match at Southampton.

Eddie Howe and his players were due to fly to Hampshire on Friday afternoon but dangerously high winds forced the cancellation of a raft of flights to and from Newcastle airport. The north east is currently under an amber weather alert, with wind speeds expected to reach up to 90mph.
