Morocco goalkeeper Yassine Bounou is joining Neymar´s new club in Saudi Arabia after Sevilla announced his transfer to Al Hilal.

The 32-year-old Bounou helped Morocco become the biggest surprise of last year´s World Cup when it reached the semifinals after beating both Spain and Portugal in the knockout rounds.

He also helped Sevilla lift its record-extending seventh Europa League title when it beat Roma in a penalty shootout in June. Bounou leaves Sevilla with two Europa League titles. He played 142 games - which included 58 clean sheets - for the club.

Neymar joined Al Hilal from Paris Saint-Germain earlier this week.

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is recovering in the hospital after being diagnosed with pneumonia and will miss at least the team’s next two games, the club has said.

In a statement released by Newcastle late Monday, the 47-year-old Howe thanked everyone at the club and “the wider football community for your messages and warm wishes.”

Pneumonia is inflammation of the lungs typically caused by an infection. According to Britain’s National Health Service, most people get better in 2-4 weeks but people at most risk of getting seriously ill and needing hospital treatment are babies, older people and those with heart or lung conditions.

Howe will miss Premier League games against Crystal Palace at home on Wednesday and Aston Villa away on Saturday. He already missed the 4-1 win over Manchester United on Sunday, having been admitted to the hospital on Friday after feeling unwell for several days.

Assistants Jason Tindall and Graeme Jones will continue to lead the team in Howe’s absence, Newcastle said.

Newcastle is in fourth place in the Premier League and attempting to qualify for next season’s Champions League by finishing in the top five. By beating Palace, Newcastle would jump above Nottingham Forest into third.
