Newcastle United vs Bournemouth could get go-ahead as Queen's funeral detail confirmed

Newcastle United's home clash with Bournemouth could be played next weekend as the date for Queen Elizabeth II's funeral has been confirmed as a bank holiday for the country. All football matches across the Premier League and EFL between September 9-11 were cancelled after The Queen passed away aged 96 on Thursday.

Despite some reports indicating next weekend’s action could also be in doubt, Premier League action could get back underway from Friday with The Queen's funeral confirmed as taking place on Monday, September 19.

The funeral, which could have been held over the weekend, would have clashed with Newcastle's match with the Cherries. With the dates of the two events not set to clash, there is more chance that the games will be played over the weekend.
