Injury News:
Newcastle United have been dealt a major blow ahead of their upcoming clash against Athletic Club, as key midfielder Bruno Guimarães has reportedly picked up an injury during a training session earlier today. The Brazilian international, known for his creativity, work rate, and leadership in midfield, was seen limping off the pitch after an unfortunate collision with a teammate during drills at the club’s Benton training ground.
According to early reports from the club’s medical staff, Bruno sustained a minor muscle strain, and his participation in tomorrow’s friendly against Athletic Club now remains highly doubtful. The technical team is monitoring his condition closely, and a final decision will be made after further medical assessments later tonight. Manager Eddie Howe has expressed concern but remains optimistic that the injury is not a long-term one.
Speaking after training, Howe said, “Bruno felt some discomfort, so we didn’t want to take any risks. He’s an important player for us, and we’ll evaluate his recovery carefully before making a call.”
Fans have taken to social media to express their worries, as Guimarães has been one of Newcastle’s most consistent performers this season. His absence could heavily affect the team’s midfield balance and creativity in tomorrow’s match.
With key fixtures ahead in both domestic and European competitions, Newcastle’s medical team will aim to have Bruno back to full fitness as soon as possible. While the club hasn’t confirmed the extent of the injury, insiders suggest it’s a precautionary move rather than a serious setback. Supporters will be hoping for positive news in the coming days as the Magpies prepare for a demanding run of matches.
