Newcastle United injuries: The latest on Bruno Guimaraes and Lewis Miley after Tuesday’s 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur.
Malick Thiaw and Jacob Ramsey scored either side of Archie Gray’s equaliser to hand The Magpies their third Premier League away win of the season.
It ended a run of three straight defeats for Newcastle as Eddie Howe’s side moved up to 10th in the table heading into Saturday’s FA Cup trip to Aston Villa.
But United will be sweating on the fitness of captain Bruno Guimaraes after the midfielder hobbled off late on at Spurs.

Eddie Howe admits Bruno Guimaraes injury worry
Providing an update on Guimaraes’ fitness after the match, Howe told The Gazette: “I'm not sure, he's a little bit worried. I think that he's not sure [because] he said he's never had a problem with his hamstrings before, so is it cramp? Was it a muscle problem?
“Probably feels more of an injury to me, but let's wait and see.”
Newcastle United midfielder ruled out for another couple of weeks
An injury to Guimaraes would come as a blow to Newcastle given his importance to the team and the limited options in midfield at the moment.
Joelinton is currently out with a groin injury while Lewis Miley has suffered a setback in his recovery from a leg injury that has kept him out of action since the draw at Paris Saint-Germain.
The 19-year-old is expected to miss the upcoming matches against Villa, Qarabag and potentially the trip to Manchester City.
“We're missing him massively,” Howe said on Miley. “He's a huge player for us. Of course, there's Joelinton in our midfield, and they're two high-level players.
“Of course, we've spoken many times about the defensive injuries that we've had this season. We just hope we haven't lost Bruno. That would be the real negative of the night.”
In addition to the concerns surrounding Guimaraes, Miley and Joelinton, Newcastle are also without Tino Livramento for another month, Fabian Schar for another two and there’s no clear return date for Emil Krafth, who has been out since early November with a knee issue.
