Rafael Benitez listening to advice from surgeons, says Newcastle fitness coach

Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez finally had to listen to the experts as he attempted to return to the training pitch just days after undergoing surgery.

The 57-year-old Spaniard had the procedure on Monday to address an infection resulting from an earlier hernia operation, and has three times since embarked upon the journey back from his home in the north-west for Tyneside, only to be forced to turn back in pain.
