Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe will miss Sunday`s Premier League game against Manchester United after being admitted to hospital. Howe had been feeling unwell for several days and was taken to hospital on Friday evening for further medical examinations.
The club`s press service reported that Howe remained in hospital overnight for continued diagnosis. He is currently conscious, communicating with his family, and receiving the necessary medical care.
Newcastle United Football Club expressed their best wishes for Eddie Howe`s speedy recovery and promised to provide updates on his condition later.
In Howe`s absence, his assistants Jason Tindall and Graeme Jones will manage the team in the home match against Manchester United. This game is crucial for Newcastle in their quest to qualify for the Champions League. Currently, Newcastle is in seventh position in the Premier League but has two games in hand compared to the teams above them.
Newcastle`s next match will be on Wednesday against Crystal Palace.
Jason Tindall, who replaced Howe at the press conference, said that the coach had been feeling unwell in recent days but remained in contact with the team. Tindall noted that match preparations are proceeding as planned and expressed hope for Howe`s speedy recovery.
