Former Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe, who was taken ill last weekend, has been diagnosed with pneumonia and is likely to miss Newcastle’s games against Crystal Palace and Aston Villa this week.
A huge thank you to everyone connected with Newcastle United and the wider football community for your messages and warm wishes. They have meant a lot to me and my family.
I also want to pay tribute to our incredible NHS and the hospital staff who have treated me. I’m immensely grateful for the specialist care I’m receiving and, after a period of recovery, I look forward to being back as soon as possible.
