Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes is likely to miss this weekend’s Premier League clash against Crystal Palace despite avoiding a serious injury against Fulham.
The Brazilian limped off on Sunday during the Magpies 1-0 win against the Cottagers before leaving St James’ Park on crutches. Bruno had rolled his ankle earlier in the game and carried on after receiving treatment.
But a ‘distressed’ Bruno left the field in tears at half-time and was replaced for Allan Saint-Maximin in the second perioud. Bruno has been one of the most influential figures during Newcastle’s meteoric rise to the Premier League’s top four over the past year and there was an anxious wait over the seriousness of his injury.
