Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimaraes sustained a hamstring injury during the club's 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday. The Brazilian midfielder is now expected to be out of action for at least two months, according to reports from ESPN Brazil and RotoWire.
This injury means Guimaraes will miss Brazil's international friendlies scheduled for March. He is not anticipated to return to play until after the March international break, potentially in the second half of April. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe confirmed the club was awaiting the full extent of the injury earlier this week.
Guimaraes had only recently returned to the side following an ankle injury in January. His absence represents a significant blow for Newcastle, with the midfielder potentially missing key Premier League fixtures and cup ties. The club already faces an extensive injury list.
