» Eddie Howe pneumonia: Newcastle boss won’t return until back to ‘100%’

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe will not return to the touchline until he has fully recovered from his battle with pneumonia, assistant coach Jason Tindall has said.

Howe, who was admitted to hospital last week, missed Newcastle’s 4-1 win over Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday. He will also miss the club’s next two games against Crystal Palace and Aston Villa.
