Newcastle United's manager, Eddie Howe, has made a welcome return to work after undergoing treatment for pneumonia. The 47-year-old coach was hospitalized earlier this month after experiencing persistent illness that led to his diagnosis. Fortunately, Howe is now back on the training ground, resuming his crucial role in directing the team's preparations.

While Howe was recovering, the team's assistant manager, Jason Tindall, alongside fellow coach Graeme Jones, stepped up to lead the Magpies in his absence. In a show of solidarity and support, Newcastle United took to social media platform X to express their gratitude to fans for their warm wishes during this challenging time for their manager.

Currently, Newcastle sits in an impressive fifth place in the Premier League standings, and they are gearing up for an upcoming match against Ipswich Town at their iconic home ground, St James' Park, this Saturday.

Howe's health scare began late on April 11, when it became evident that something was amiss. This was particularly noticeable when Tindall represented him at a pre-match press conference earlier that day. The following day, on April 12, the club officially announced that Howe would miss the crucial home game against Manchester United, marking the beginning of a challenging stretch for the team.

During Howe's absence, Tindall and Jones successfully managed to guide Newcastle through three competitive fixtures. They notched a remarkable 4-1 victory over Manchester United, followed by a stunning 5-0 demolition of Crystal Palace. However, they also faced a tough loss, succumbing to a 4-1 defeat against Aston Villa. Despite this mixed bag of results, Newcastle United remains in the coveted final Champions League qualification position within the Premier League, a testament to the team's resilience and depth.

As they prepare to face Ipswich, Howes return is a significant boost for Newcastle, whose supporters are eagerly anticipating his leadership on the sidelines once again.
