Bruno Guimaraes will spend an extended period on the sidelines with injury and could miss many as eight to ten weeks out of action in a huge blow for Newcastle United. The Magpies skipper suffered a hamstring injury during Tuesday's 2-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League after recovering from a separate ankle issue, and is now set to spend at least two months out of action in a hammer blow.

Wayne Rooney launched a scathing attack on the standard of officiating in the FA Cup on Saturday, as Newcastle United overcame Aston Villa 3-1 in the fourth round despite multiple game-changing decisions going against them in the absence of VAR. The former Manchester United striker was particularly critical of a decision which saw a free kick given for a Lucas Digne handball which was clearly 'three yards inside' the penalty area.

Tottenham have taken the decision to sack manager Thomas Frank after a dismal run of eight games without a win.

Manchester United are reportedly readying a summer transfer swoop for Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali. The Red Devils will be bidding farewell to Brazilian veteran Casemiro when he hits free agency, meaning that reinforcements in the Old Trafford engine room will be sought. It is claimed that Italy international Tonali will come with a £100 million ($136m) price tag.

Eddie Howe ripped into his Newcastle United players following their 3-2 defeat at home to Brentford on Saturday evening, though conceded he himself needs to look in the mirror over the team's poor results and performances. The Magpies are without a win in their last five games in all competitions, losing four of them.

Sandro Tonali’s future at Newcastle United is back in the spotlight after his agent, Giuseppe Riso, hinted at a potential summer move. While the Italian midfielder remains committed to the Magpies for now, his representative has admitted that Champions League qualification will be the deciding factor. After late interest from Arsenal in January, a summer departure is now a very real possibility.
