Newcastle United injury news: Eddie Howe has fresh worries over Bruno Guimaraes’ fitness to deal with following their victory over Tottenham Hotspur.
Having been beaten by Brentford on Saturday, the Magpies put in a perfect response in the capital, securing a 2-1 victory over a hapless Spurs side. However, their night ended on a worrying note as Bruno Guimaraes limped off through injury.
The Brazilian had only just returned to action at the weekend following a four-match absence and the Magpies will be desperate to avoid losing him for any further period of time, particularly with three very tough away matches on the horizon. Elsewhere, Eddie Howe still has a number of injury concerns to deal with within his squad.
Here, we take a look at Newcastle United’s current injury list and when those sidelined players could be expected back in action.
Newcastle United injury news & estimated return dates
Fabian Schar - ankle injury
Schar suffered a fairly serious ankle injury against Leeds United last month, although initial prognosis on the injury was not as severe as first thought. There is hope he can return to action before the end of the season, although he still has a long road to recovery.
Joelinton - groin injury
A groin injury has kept Joelinton out of action since their defeat against Aston Villa. The Brazilian is facing ‘weeks rather than months’ on the sidelines according to Eddie Howe.

Emil Krafth - knee injury
Krafth hasn’t featured for Newcastle United since their defeat against West Ham at the London Stadium at the beginning of November. There has not been a timeframe placed on his return to action.
Estimated return date - unknown
Lewis Miley - leg injury
Miley hasn’t featured since Newcastle United’s draw with PSG last month. The teenager has suffered an injury to his leg and whilst there was hope that it was not a significant problem, it has been enough to keep him out of their last four matches. He is a major doubt to feature this weekend and could remain sidelined for another few weeks, according to reports from the Mail Online.
Estimated return date - Qarabag (h) 24/02/26
Tino Livramento - hamstring injury
Livramento is still facing a number of weeks on the sidelines with a hamstring injury. Howe admitted at the end of January that it would still be another five or six weeks until the England international would be able to return to action. That timescale should see him return before the March international break.
Estimated return date - Chelsea (a) 14/03/26
Bruno Guimaraes - leg injury
Guimaraes has only just returned to fitness following an ankle injury before he left the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium pitch in much discomfort on Tuesday night. Asked about the Brazilian’s injury post-match, Howe admitted he wasn’t sure on an initial prognosis.
“I'm not sure, he's a little bit worried,” Howe responded. “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.”
Estimated return date - unknown
