Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe is confident that Sven Botman will quickly shrug off his mistake against Nottingham Forest and be stronger for the experience.
The Dutchman recovered during the game and helped Newcastle to come back from 1-0 down at the City Ground to win the game. Botman is now on international duty with Holland as his country face France on Friday night in the Euro 2024 qualifiers.
When asked about Botman's mood, Howe said: "He's been incredibly consistent for us this season, he's been a rock at the heart of our defence.

"We all make mistakes, I thought he responded very well in a difficult moment. It'll be good for his learning to have gone through that."
Botman has been a mainstay in Howe's team this season and has made 24 appearances, forging a strong partnership with Fabian Schar in the Newcastle defensive rearguard. His overall form for the campaign has been rewarded by returning Holland boss Ronald Koeman.
Holland also face Gibraltar in Euro qualifying before the Magpies link up again for that huge clash against Manchester United in the Premier League.
