Eddie Howe confirmed on Friday that the club were waiting to discover the full extent of Guimaraes' injury. Guimaraes is now set to miss around eight weeks of action, which could rule him out of around 10 matches. This would include the Tyne-Wear derby against Sunderland next month. Guimaraes would also be absent for Newcastle's upcoming Champions League play-off against Qarabag, as well as potential last-16 ties should they beat the Azeri champions.
