Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has been hospitalized and undergoing tests after consistently falling ill, his Premier League team said Saturday.

Howe was admitted to the hospital late Friday “having felt unwell for several days,” Newcastle said in a statement.

“Medical staff kept Eddie in hospital overnight for further tests, which are ongoing,” the Saudi-controlled club said. “He is conscious and talking with his family, and is continuing to receive expert medical care.”

After a year away from the game, Howe returned to management in 2021 when he was appointed as head coach of Newcastle United following the takeover of the club.
