Eddie Howe says he is "OK" but "not 100%" as he returns to manage Newcastle United after his stay in hospital with pneumonia.

The 47-year-old was admitted to hospital on 11 April having felt unwell for a number of days, and has missed three Magpies matches.

On Thursday, the club announced he was well enough to return to work.

"I've been through a range of emotions but I feel like I'm on the road to recovery," said Howe on Friday.

"I'm not 100% in my body but I like to think I'm close to 100% in my mind, which is the most important thing.
