Eddie Howe has warned his Newcastle players not to seek retribution on Manchester City’s Jack Grealish after his disparaging comments about Miguel Almiron.
Grealish, filmed during City’s bus parade after winning the Premier League in May, joked that one of the secrets behind their final-day comeback against Aston Villa was Riyad Mahrez being substituted because he’d ‘played like Almiron’.
Howe, though, does not want his men to target the City forward at St James’ Park tomorrow. ‘We need to play the game with cool heads,’ said Howe.
‘We need to have fire in our hearts, but we need to play with discipline.
