Howe was quoted in the statement with the words: “A big thank you to everyone who is associated with Newcastle United and the broader football community for their news and warm wishes. They have a lot to do with me and my family.
“I would also like to pay tribute to our incredible NHS and the hospital staff who treated me. I am very grateful for the specialist care that I receive and after a time of recovery I look forward to being back as soon as possible.”
Tindall and co -trainer Graeme Jones will continue to take responsibility for Newcastle against Crystal Palace and Aston Villa on Wednesday and Saturday of this week, the club confirmed. It added that further updates of the condition and the return of Howe would be communicated “in due course”.
