Eddie Howe’s newest well being replace is revealed by his assistant supervisor Jason Tindall after Newcastle supervisor was admitted to hospital

Newcastle assistant boss Jason Tindall has issued an update on Eddie Howe‘s health.

It emerged on Saturday that Newcastle manager Howe had been admitted to hospital on Friday night.

As a result, the 47-year-old missed Newcastle’s Premier League game at home to Manchester United on Sunday, which the Magpies won 4-1.

Tindall, who has worked with Howe for many years, took charge of the team along with Graeme Jones.

On Friday Tindall stood in for Howe at the pre-match press conference with the Newcastle boss being taken into hospital later that evening. 

It was reported on Saturday that Howe was ‘conscious and talking’ after being admitted to hospital.

Tindall gave a further update on Howe ahead of the game at St James’ Park and revealed that the manager hadn’t been able to have his usual input in Newcastle’s preparations for the game.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Tindall said: ‘He’s not been well this week and he was admitted to hospital on Friday evening. Everyone wishes him the best and I’m sure he will be back with us soon.

‘When you’ve been ill all week it’s difficult to have the input you would normally have. The players know the expectations so it’s important they go out and deliver a performance the manager would be proud of.

‘We’ve had a good week, a really positive result away to Leicester. It’s important we deliver a performance that helps us.’

Sky Sports pundit Roy Keane stated that it can be challenging for players to perform without their manager present.

Keane said: ‘I think it does (make a difference). You certainly feel your manager not being there. They’re an experienced group of players. You hope the players and staff can get the job done.’

A club statement on Saturday read: ‘Eddie Howe will miss Newcastle United ’s Premier League game against Manchester United on Sunday due to illness.

‘The Magpies’ head coach was admitted to hospital late on Friday evening having felt unwell for a number of days.

Roy Keane stated that it can be difficult for players to adapt when their manager isn’t present

‘Medical staff kept Eddie in hospital overnight for further tests, which are ongoing. He is conscious and talking with his family, and is continuing to receive expert medical care.

‘Everyone at Newcastle United extends their best wishes to Eddie for a speedy recovery, and further updates will follow in due course.

‘Jason Tindall and Graeme Jones will lead the team at St. James’ Park on Sunday, supported by the club’s first team staff.’

Howe, who previously had two spells as Bournemouth boss and also managed Burnley, was appointed by Newcastle in November 2021.

Last month Howe guided Newcastle to glory in the Carabao Cup as the club won their first trophy for 56 years.
