Eddie Howe gives Bruno Guimaraes injury update after 'special' Newcastle United goal

Bruno Guimaraes' withdrawal at Southampton was nothing more than cramp - much to the relief of Newcastle United fans. The away end fell silent for the one and only time at St Mary's when Bruno went down to receive treatment.

But the Brazil international did not set off for treatment and joined the subs on the bench. And he was present for the team celebrations in the visiting locker room at St Mary's following the Magpies' 2-1 win.

Eddie Howe said after the game: “I think it’s cramp - I’m not 100 per cent sure. His English is improving - but it’s not perfect. I asked if he had cramp and he nodded his head.”
