Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has been diagnosed with pneumonia and is recovering in hospital.

The 47-year-old was admitted to hospital on Friday night and missed his team's 4-1 win over Manchester United on Sunday.

But in a club statement on Monday, Howe said that he was looking forward to returning as soon as possible. In the meantime, Jason Tindall and Graeme Jones will take charge of Wednesday's visit of Crystal Palace and Saturday's trip to Aston Villa.

Howe said: 'A huge thank you to everyone connected with Newcastle United and the wider football community for your messages and warm wishes.
