Positive virus test scuppers Howe's debut as Newcastle manager
Eddie Howe will miss what should have been his first match as Newcastle United manager, against Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday, after testing positive for Covid-19.
"I'm very disappointed that I won't be there with you all at St James' Park tomorrow, but it is incredibly important that I follow the guidelines and self-isolate," Howe told Newcastle's website on Friday.
