Manager in hospital being treated for pneumonia‘No exact timeframe’ for return, says Tindall
Jason Tindall is ready to take charge of Newcastle for the remainder of the season as Eddie Howe recovers from pneumonia. With Newcastle’s manager still in hospital, his assistant will lead the team against Crystal Palace at St James’ Park on Wednesday night and at Aston Villa on Saturday, but, if necessary, Tindall is prepared to deputise for longer.
Given that recovery times from assorted types of pneumonia vary considerably, with some patients requiring months rather than weeks off work, Newcastle are anxious Howe does not rush his return and concentrates on being fully fit for the start of next season. Accordingly, it is quite possible Tindall will assume responsibility for the final seven games of the season as Newcastle seek Champions League qualification. A point against Palace would take the Carabao Cup winners above Nottingham Forest into third place.
