Newcastle United's star midfielder, Bruno Guimaraes, is facing a race against time to recover from a serious hamstring injury. But here's the twist: his treatment plan has sparked a debate among fans and experts alike.
The Brazilian international suffered the injury during a thrilling 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur, leaving the field in visible pain. With the World Cup finals just around the corner in June, the pressure is on to get Bruno back to full fitness. But the question remains: will he make it?
In a surprising move, Bruno has returned to his former club, Atlético Mineiro, in Brazil, for treatment. This decision came after an agreement between Newcastle United and the Brazilian Football Association. The player will be under the care of his ex-club doctor, Rodrigo Lasmar, at the Cidade do Galo complex.
Sources suggest Bruno narrowly avoided surgery, with the injury classified as a grade three hamstring issue. The Brazilian club released a statement, showing Bruno with Dr. Lasmar, emphasizing their confidence in his recovery. But is this optimism well-founded?
Bruno's absence from the upcoming international matches against France and Croatia is understandable. Newcastle's head coach, Eddie Howe, confirmed that Bruno will be out until the March international break. But the club's hopes for his return in April might be a stretch, considering the severity of the injury.
As for his midfield partner, Joelinton, he's also facing injury woes. The Brazilian enforcer is undergoing treatment in Barcelona and could join the squad for their next fixture. But will these injuries impact Newcastle's performance on both domestic and European fronts?
Stay tuned for more updates on Bruno's recovery and Newcastle United's season. And don't forget to join the discussion: do you think Bruno will make a full recovery in time for the World Cup? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
