Newcastle United are preparing for their latest mid-season warm-weather break as Eddie Howe and his squad rest and recuperate before the business end of the campaign.
Friday night saw Newcastle record a last-gasp victory over Nottingham Forest but focus quickly turned to the international break jaunt. Speaking after the 2-1 victory, Howe confirmed the plan was to rest up before putting in more hard yards on the training pitch.
“Immediately it’ll be a little bit of rest after an intense period of game, then we’ll get back to training and preparation for Manchester United,” the Newcastle boss said. “I think we’re away for about five or six days. We’ll be training and making sure we’re fit and focused for the last part of the season.”
