  • Manager Eddie Howe had expressed concern, noting Guimaraes had no prior hamstring issues.
  • His absence is a significant blow to Newcastle, who have a poor win record in league matches without him.
  • The injury leaves Howe with limited senior central midfield options ahead of their FA Cup clash with Aston Villa.
