Bruno Guimaraes sends four-word message to Lewis Hall after devastating injury update
Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes directed a message to Lewis Hall after the latest update on his injury.
Newcastle are gearing up for their crucial clash against West Ham on 10 March before turning their attention to the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool.
However, their preparations have been overshadowed by a dip in form, with back-to-back defeats against Liverpool in the Premier League and Brighton in the FA Cup, where Danny Welbeck’s late goal sealed a 2-1 loss.
Guimaraes apologised to Newcastle fans after the cup exit, and recognising their frustration as the team continues to face setbacks.
Adding to their concerns, Anthony Gordon will miss the Carabao Cup final after receiving a red card for violent conduct, meaning he will serve a three-match domestic ban.
As the squad deals with key absences, an update on Hall’s injury emerged, prompting a response from Guimaraes as Newcastle look to rally ahead of a critical period.
| Newcastle’s last four results | Win/Loss/Draw |
| Newcastle 1-2 Brighton | Loss |
| Liverpool 2-0 Newcastle | Loss |
| Newcastle 4-3 Nottingham Forest | Win |
| Man City 4-0 Newcastle | Loss |
Bruno Guimaraes reacts as Lewis Hall ruled out for the rest of Newcastle’s season
Newcastle confirmed via Instagram that Hall will not only miss the Carabao Cup final but is set to be sidelined for the remainder of the 2024/25 season after suffering a foot injury.
Guimaraes responded to the news by posting on his Instagram story, sending a message of support: “Speedy recovery my guy.”
Newcastle fans were left devastated after Hall’s injury, with the squad already struggling with setbacks in their preparations for the cup final. The club’s hopes of ending their long wait for silverware—having not won a major trophy since 1955—continue to be hit by obstacles.
Eddie Howe may need to manage Isak and Guimaraes’ fitness ahead of Carabao Cup final
Eddie Howe has been urged to drop Alexander Isak by former Tottenham player and manager Tim Sherwood, with concerns growing over the striker’s fitness.
Howe’s recent decision to leave the striker out of the squad against Liverpool raised questions about whether it was due to an injury concern or a tactical move to avoid giving away too much ahead of their meeting in the final.
With Hall’s injury adding to Newcastle’s problems, the coach may now take a cautious approach with key players like Isak and Guimaraes. The Magpies still have a Premier League fixture against West Ham on 10 March before their showdown at Wembley, making squad rotation a crucial decision.
