Ole Soderberg excited with senior Newcastle call

Swedish goalkeeper Ole Soderberg is excited to be involved in Newcastle United's first team squad for their Carling Cup tie at Chelsea.

Soderberg knows that he is only a heartbeat away from the action against the reigning Premier League champions, and is excited by the prospect.

He told the Evening Chronicle: "It's something I'm looking forward to, it will be great for me and, if anything, it's an honour even to be on the bench for Newcastle United.

"To get to be a substitute in the Carling Cup or the Premier League is a great achievement for a young keeper.

"I'm not too daunted because I've been on the bench before in Carling Cup ties so it's not a big problem for me. I'm hoping for the best in the next few weeks."
