Why Bruno Guimaraes won't miss Carabao Cup final despite red card in semi-final

Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes will not miss the Carabao Cup final despite being shown a straight red card in the semi-final.

The Magpies booked their first trip to Wembley since 1999 - where they lost to Manchester United in the FA Cup final - with a dramatic 2-1 win over Southampton in the second leg on Tuesday. Sean Longstaff was the hero with two first-half goals to give Newcastle a three-goal lead on aggregate before Che Adams pulled one back.

Newcastle then had to dig deep to hold onto their lead after star man Guimaraes was dismissed late on for a foul on Sam Edozie. Paul Tierney had initially shown the Brazilian a yellow card but a VAR review saw it changed to a straight red.
