Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has returned to work after being hospitalised with pneumonia.
Howe missed games against Man Utd, Crystal Palace and Aston Villa while he was in hospital with the illness.
But Newcastle have said Howe has returned “to his duties” at the club’s training ground ahead of Saturday’s visit of Ipswich in the Premier League.
Newcastle’s statement stopped short of confirming Howe would be back in the dugout for the game against Ipswich.
“Newcastle United are delighted to confirm that Eddie Howe has returned to his duties at the club’s Training Centre,” the club said.
“Eddie had recently been hospitalised with pneumonia and has now returned to work after a period of recovery.”
Assistant Jason Tindall has been standing in as acting boss, overseeing impressive wins over Man Utd and Crystal Palace before losing heavily at Aston Villa.
