Daily Mail journalist Craig Hope has shared a positive injury update regarding Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes. As per Chronicle Live, the 24-year-old missed Brazil’s friendly against Ghana on Friday due to a thigh problem.
As a result, the Magpies star sought treatment in the team hotel, with the national team deciding to opt against risking an injury. Guimaraes had previously suffered from a hamstring injury for Newcastle prior to the international break, so fears arose when news emerged of the midfielder having sustained a fresh problem whilst playing for his country.
After revealing that Guimaraes joined Alexander Isak in returning to Tyneside to have their injuries assessed, Hope shared a fresh update on the former Lyon star’s fitness situation, along with a possible return date for Newcastle. Taking to Twitter, the reliable journalist claimed: “The word again this morning is that Bruno’s problem is not too serious & there is a chance he could be involved at the weekend #nufc”When looking at the 24-year-old’s underlying statistics, it is clear to see how Guimaraes has become such a crucial player for Eddie Howe’s side.
As per FBRef, compared with positional peers across Europe’s top five leagues over the past year, the midfielder ranks in the top 1% for tackles, the top 7% for expected goals assisted and progressive carries, and the top 10% for non-penalty goals. Having earned stylistic comparisons to two of football’s brightest young talents in Barcelona’s Pedri and Borussia Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham, Guimaraes’ quality is undeniable.
