Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has been admitted to hospital and will miss the club's Premier League fixture with Manchester United on Sunday.
The 47-year-old went to hospital late on Friday, having "felt unwell for a number of days", the club said.
A statement said: "Medical staff kept Eddie in hospital overnight for further tests, which are ongoing.
"He is conscious and talking with his family, and is continuing to receive expert medical care."
The club added: "Everyone at Newcastle United extends their best wishes to Eddie for a speedy recovery, and further updates will follow in due course."
The statement did not give any further details of his illness or condition.
In Howe's absence, assistant managers Jason Tindall and Graeme Jones will lead Newcastle for the visit of Ruben Amorim's side to St James' Park.
Tindall stood in for Howe at a pre-match news conference on Friday.
Last month, Howe guided Newcastle to their first domestic trophy for 70 years with a deserved Carabao Cup final win over Liverpool at Wembley.
Newcastle are currently seventh in the Premier League table.
Amersham-born Howe has been in charge of the Magpies since November 2021, when he succeeded Steve Bruce as the club's head coach.
Newcastle have finished 11th, fourth and seventh in the past three seasons.
Howe has taken charge of 165 matches in all competitions for Newcastle, winning 84 drawing 36 and losing 45 of them.
Under Howe, the Magpies memorably beat Paris St-Germain in the Champions League group stage in the 2023-24 campaign but failed to make it to the knockout stage.
He previously had two spells in charge of Bournemouth either side of a brief stint at Burnley, and has been talked of as a future England manager.
However, he said he was not interviewed by the Football Association to replace Gareth Southgate, with Thomas Tuchel appointed Three Lions boss last October.

I know four people personally who’ve had pneumonia in the last six months. Can’t remember that many having it my lifetime before. It’s took/taking them all months to get over it too.
All recovered, Geoff? |

Luckily i was reasonably fit for my age when admitted. Didnt stop me getting it but im sure helped me to a relatively speedy recovery.Being able to get out in the relatively warm spring air was an added bonus.

My neighbour was similar. Went to the walk in because he was feeling terrible, ten minutes later he was blue lighted to hospital too. Ten days in there and three months off work. He still sounds breathless and weak six months later.
