Steve McClaren remains in charge of Newcastle United, with a board decision on his St James' Park future expected in the next 48 hours.

McClaren, under pressure with the Magpies 19th in the Premier League, took training as scheduled on Tuesday.

The board - minus the ex-England boss - met away from Tyneside on Monday.

Newcastle are in danger of a second relegation in seven years after five defeats in six league games, including Saturday's 3-1 loss to Bournemouth.
