Eddie Howe is back managing Newcastle United following a hospitalization for pneumonia from April 11. During his time away, he missed three matches. Though he states he's not fully physically recovered, he feels mentally prepared. Reflecting on his illness, Howe expressed the emotional difficulties faced yet aims to find positivity amid challenges, emphasizing the fragility of health. His absence saw assistant Jason Tindall lead the team to two wins and one defeat, positioning Newcastle fifth in the Premier League ahead of their next match against Ipswich.
"I've been through a range of emotions but I feel like I'm on the road to recovery. 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."
"You take [your health] for granted - I certainly have - and when you don't have the luxury of feeling normal, it can be very difficult."
