Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes will miss Saturday’s Premier League clash against West Ham United.
The Brazilian midfielder, who is one of the Magpies’ star players, has picked up a three-match suspension, having been shown a straight red card in the second half of their Carabao Cup second leg victory over Southampton for a foul on Saints forward Samuel Edozie.
Unlike suspension rules for yellow cards, which are competition-specific, red cards carry across all competitions, meaning Guimaraes will not miss the Carabao Cup final on February 26 but will miss Newcastle’s next three league games.
