Bruno Guimaraes faces months out for Newcastle

Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring injury during Tuesday's win over Tottenham.

The 27-year-old was forced to limp off in the closing stages of the match, leaving head coach Eddie Howe with a major selection headache.

Initial scans are expected to confirm the extent of the damage, which has been described as a significant blow to the Magpies' Premier League title challenge.
