Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimaraes is set to miss at least six weeks with a hamstring injury, a setback manager Eddie Howe described as a “massive blow” to their season. Â
​Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has confirmed that captain Bruno Guimaraes faces a significant spell on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring injury against Tottenham.
The Brazilian midfielder is expected to be out until April, missing crucial fixtures including the Tyne-Wear derby and Champions League ties. Howe stated, “Massive blow for us at a key stage of the season. He’s devastated.”
​The Magpies are also monitoring the fitness of Sven Botman and Yoane Wissa, though their conditions are thought to be less severe.
While Botman missed the 3-1 FA Cup win over Aston Villa due to a back issue, Howe remains hopeful for a quick return.
Regarding Guimaraes, however, Howe admitted there is no “miracle cure,” adding, “other players have to step up in his absence.”
