The Magpies' head coach was admitted to hospital late on Friday evening having felt unwell for a number of days.

Medical staff kept Eddie in hospital overnight for further tests, which are ongoing. He is conscious and talking with his family, and is continuing to receive expert medical care.

Everyone at Newcastle United extends their best wishes to Eddie for a speedy recovery, and further updates will follow in due course.

Jason Tindall and Graeme Jones will lead the team at St. James' Park on Sunday, supported by the club's first team staff.
