Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe does not believe his players are suffering from any type of end of season fatigue and are in a "great place" going into the four-game Champions League shoot-out.
In recent weeks, commentators and pundits have spoken of fatigue and tiredness at the end of a long campaign, made longer by the mid-season World Cup break. But Howe is pleased with where his players are physically going into the crunch period.
Howe told Chronicle Live: "With these things, I am never a big believer in fatigue. Unless it gets rammed down your throat, you don't feel fatigued.
