Est. Return 4/11/2026
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.
Howe confirms timeline
Guimaraes will miss multiple months with his hamstring injury, according to manager Eddie Howe. "I think he will be [pushing to get back sooner]. But the timeframe will be the timeframe on this one. I don't think there's any miracle cure for him. I think it will be a couple of months. You are probably looking at the end of the international break in March for him. We've spoken with him, and he spoke with our medical team, and we've been in consultation with the Brazilian national team. He's going this week with the Brazilian national team, and then comes back to us for the last four weeks."
ANALYSIS
Guimaraes will hope to return after the March international break, which keeps him out a bevy of Premier League matches and the next season of games in the Champions League. Even then, hamstring injuries are a difficult thing to return from and nothing is guaranteed with this timeline since regular hamstring pulls are a fairly standard four-week absence. In Newcastle's first game without Guimaraes, Nick Woltemade pushed further back in the formation, a position that will likely be fluid with Joelinton also out.

Limps off against Tottenham
Guimaraes was unable to continue in the final minutes of Tuesday's 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur due to a potential injury, with manager Eddie Howe commenting "I'm not sure. He's a little bit worried. He said he's not sure 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. We'll try and stay positive at this moment.", Jordan Cronin of NewcastleWorld reports.
