But the Sunday Sun claims the operation proved straightforward, and Kinnear expects to make a "quick" and full recovery.

Sunday Sun insider: "Joe underwent his operation yesterday and the surgery went to plan.

"He's feeling fine and looking forward to making a quick recovery.

"Joe will remain in hospital for another seven to 10 days and will then continue his rehabilitation at home."

It remains to be seen whether Newcastle decide that the caretaker coaching duo of Chris Hughton and Colin Caldwerwood need help from an experienced manager.
