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.
