Already affected at the start of 2026, Bruno Guimarães is experiencing another major setback. The Newcastle midfielder suffers from a serious muscle injury and will be out for several weeks, according to ESPN Brasil. The Brazilian must soon go to Brazil for examinations, but his convalescence period is estimated between 8 and 10 weeks, which compromises his presence for the shocks against Aston Villa and Manchester City in the Premier League.
It is a huge blow for the Magpies, who are losing an indisputable starter under the leadership of Eddie Howe, but also for the Brazilian selection with a view to the 2026 World Cup. Already a pillar of his team, Bruno Guimarães will miss the next international matches in March, depriving Brazil of one of its key elements in midfield a few months before the competition.
