Newcastle United has to make do without Bruno Guimaraes.
Their inspirational captain suffered a serious hamstring injury during the match against Spurs eight days ago.
Newcastle United will see that win against Tottenham without Bruno Guimaraes.
Then on Saturday Aston Villa were beaten 3-1 in the FA Cup without the NUFC skipper.
That weekend’s victory coincided with ESPN Brazil reporting: ‘Bruno Guimaraes suffered a hamstring injury in his left thigh and will be sidelined for at least two months. The midfielder, a key player for Carlo Ancelotti’s team, is expected to recover until at least the second half of April. He will soon travel to Brazil to be treated by national team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar, allowing Ancelotti’s coaching staff to closely monitor the recovery of one of their most important players.”
ESPN Brazil further points out: ‘Bruno Guimaraes is having a remarkable season at Newcastle, where he is captain and fan favourite. He has nine goals and six assists in 35 games, putting him even more in the spotlight months ahead of the World Cup scheduled to take place in the United States, Mexico and Canada.”
On Wednesday evening, after a great performance from Newcastle United AND the third away win in a row, Eddie Howe’s side defeated Qarabag FK 6-1. United led 5-0 at half-time and then cruised to victory, Anthony Gordon scoring four!
Bruno Guimaraes posts this image from Brazil on his social media as he does everything he can to speed up his recovery…
Always dedicated, always the true professional. Bruno Guimaraes cheers on his teammates from a hyperbaric oxygen chamber!
