Howe has been self-isolating since last Friday when he tested positive for Covid after giving the press conference for Brentford. Jason Tindall and Graeme Jones were forced to take the Brentford match last Saturday.
Howe has been heavily involved in the training sessions this week despite being stuck in his hotel room. It has also been revealed that he struggled with symptoms over the weekend and the early part of the week.
Keith Downie has tweeted the following from Jason Tindall’s press conference this morning.
“Isolating with the virus in a hotel room is difficult. But he’s watched training every day from multiple angles. We then analyse & feedback to players. Ed has been a big part of that, he’s very hands on. We’ve spoken 5-6 times a day & prepare training in the evenings.”

It’s fantastic news that Howe is feeling better and will be able to take the Arsenal match on Saturday. Hopefully, he’ll also be able to work with the lads in training today.

Comment #1Dubai from previous – What makes you think it was a false positive? He may have just recovered?

Jason Tindall on the return of Eddie Howe:
“You want your manager here with you. We’ve missed him as a group of staff and I’m sure the players have missed seeing him at the training ground. We’re certainly looking forward to having him back.”

? Jason Tindall ahead of #ARSNEW:
“Dwight Gayle was feeling his hamstring slightly so that’s one that will be assessed today. Other than that there’s been no new injury concerns for us with a training session still to do today.”

Comment #4Not sure if we can say that was a falsie Dubai. He looked a bit sick at the press conference too, but it doesn’t matter now.

Jason Tindall on the last week:
“Eddie has seen training back every day. We film it and that will then be sent to him in the afternoon to review it back, as will we as coaches. Then we will feed back what’s necessary to the players the following day.”

Jason Tindall on training:
“Every training session we’ve asked for the lads to go and deliver and they’ve done that and worked extremely hard. The attitude and the application players has been excellent. It’s a very talented squad and we were encouraged by Brentford.”

Some confusion over Eddie Howe & 10-day isolation. It’s thought club have traced symptoms to earlier last week, but Jason Tindall said today: ‘When Eddie tested positive he was very surprised because he had no symptoms’.

Premier League say, in general terms, each case is judged on its own merits & if all medical departments are satisfied it is safe after a negative PCR result, then it is possible for individuals to be released from isolation.

Comment #12Mund,
Tickets are on sale to the general public, how many times does Munster have to tell us he must get to a game before he actually does.
