Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe will only return to the helm when he is fully ready, assistant Jason Tindall has revealed.
The Magpies confirmed on Monday evening that 47-year-old head coach Howe had been diagnosed with pneumonia after being admitted to hospital on Friday, and he will miss the key Premier League fixtures against Crystal Palace on Wednesday and Aston Villa at the weekend.
Speaking at his press conference on Tuesday morning, Tindall said: “We’ve had minimal dialogue since that announcement was made, but he’s in the best possible hands and will be back as soon as he feels he’s ready to come back 100 per cent.”
