Howe worried about another Guimaraes injury after Newcastle beat Tottenham | OneFootball

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe admits he is worried about another possible injury for star man Bruno Guimaraes.

The midfielder was forced off late on in Newcastle’s 2-1 away win at Tottenham, as goals from Malick Thiaw and Jacob Ramsey secured a huge away win for Howe’s side.

Guimaraes has only just returned from an ankle injury, but Howe says the midfielder had to come off with a hamstring injury.

“Not sure,” the Newcastle boss said on Guimaraes. “He’s a little bit worried.

“He said he’s never had a problem with his hamstrings before so is it cramp, was it a muscle problem?

“It probably feels more of an injury to me but let’s wait and see and try and stay positive at this moment.”

Howe was full of praise for his players and the Newcastle fans following their victory, meanwhile.

“A great response from the players, they really did inspire each other and help each other,” he said. “I think it was one of our best performances of the season, a dominant display.

“Our supporters have travelled far and wide to watch us and we feel like we’ve let them down on a few occasions, so nice today that we get that moment to celebrate with them.

“Not just me, but the players and some of the new players get a chance to experience the love from the fans. That was a special connection and I’m grateful it’s still there.”
