2025 Fantasy Outlook
Guimaraes started all 38 matches in 2024/25, showing his ability to stay healthy after start 37 the prior campaign. The Brazilian broke the 10-goal contribution (five goals, six assists) mark again with 11, though his overall attacking numbers were down slightly. He's a key piece to how Newcastle play in the midfield and his role isn't going to change, but there is a chance for less time in league play due to Champions League football next season. The other downside is that his goals and assists are fairly random with a lot of them coming from rebounds or scraps in the box.
Could return against Brentford
Guimaraes (ankle) won't make it for the Carabao Cup second leg against Manchester City on Wednesday but has a chance to return in Saturday's clash against Brentford, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "Bruno is doing well but I don't think he'll make this game. There is a chance for the weekend."
ANALYSIS
Guimaraes has missed the last three matches after picking up an ankle injury against PSV in the Champions League, but he is progressing well and has a chance to return for Saturday's clash against the Bees. His potential availability would be a major boost for the Magpies, as Joelinton (groin) and Lewis Miley (knee) remain sidelined too until further notice, leaving the midfield options stretched thin. With depth limited in the middle of the pitch, Jacob Ramsey is expected to take on a larger role until they return.

Doubtful against Liverpool
Guimaraes (ankle) is a doubt for Saturday's clash against Liverpool, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "It's slightly unknown at the moment. He did really well to be with us in Paris, that was down to the fact he was desperate to support the players. He did very, very light training. He trained with us yesterday but that was more of a test so we'll see how he is today. This will be where we decide [for tomorrow]."
