Option off bench
Guimaraes (hamstring) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Bournemouth.
Analysis: Guimaraes made his return to the matchday squad after being sidelined since Feb. 10 with a hamstring injury, with coach Eddie Howe's upbeat tone following Friday's training session proving justified. The Brazilian had seen his recovery timeline pushed back further by an illness picked up after returning from Brazil, making his availability a more encouraging development than had been projected just a week ago. Jacob Ramsey is expected to continue carrying a larger load in the middle of the park until Guimaraes returns to full speed for the Magpies.
Chance of returning Saturday
Guimaraes (hamstring) has a chance of being fit for Saturday's clash against Bournemouth, according to coach Eddie Howe. "There is a chance he can be fit for the weekend. We have seen him in training, he is pushing hard to be involved, he is desperate to help the team, desperate to be involved. So, there is a possibility, I will make a decision off the back of training today."
Analysis: Guimaraes has been out since Feb. 10 with a hamstring injury, and an illness he picked up after returning from Brazil only pushed his recovery timeline back even further. That said, his return to team training along with the manager's upbeat tone is a much more encouraging sign than what was projected just a week ago, and Newcastle will be counting on him to get through Friday's session without any setbacks ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Cherries. In the meantime, Jacob Ramsey is set to carry a larger load in the middle of the park for the Magpies until the Brazilian is back up to full speed.
