Newcastle United confirmed last night that Eddie Howe will miss his first game in charge after testing positive for Covid-19.
The Magpies, who are second bottom in the Premier League, host Brentford on Saturday at 3pm.
Assistant head coaches Jason Tindall and Graeme Jones will take charge of the team in Howe's absence.
"I'm very disappointed that I won't be there with you all at St James' Park tomorrow," Howe said.
