Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimaraes is expected to be sidelined until late in the second week of April after suffering a hamstring injury during the Magpies’ 2–1 win over Tottenham Hotspur.

The 28-year-old was forced off during the second half, and subsequent assessments have indicated Bruno will be out for between six and 10 weeks.

The timeline means Guimaraes will miss matches through March and likely return only after the international break. Newcastle’s first game following that break is scheduled for April 11, away to Crystal Palace in a Premier League clash.

Bruno is set to miss at least eight games across all competitions, including the Tyne-Wear derby against Sunderland on March 22, the Champions League play-off round against Qarabag, the potential two-legged last-16 tie against either Chelsea or Barcelona, and most likely part of the UCL quarterfinals — scheduled for April 7 and 14 — if Newcastle get there.

The injury adds one more concern to an already challenging period for Newcastle, let alone to the depth of the squad in midfield.

Joelinton and Lewis Miley remain unavailable, and although both are expected to return sooner than Guimaraes, with Joelinton potentially back after the FA Cup matchup against Aston Villa, that is still a precarious situation.

Back to Bruno, Newcastle have not won any of the 12 Premier League matches he has failed to start since his full debut in March 2022, earning six draws and losing six games in those matchups.

This season, Bruno has been directly involved in 11 league goals at St James’ Park, scoring eight and assisting three. Ten of those contributions have come in his last nine home appearances.

Trace Carroll, close friend of ASU's Dillingham, takes over as Chaparral football coach

-
Trace Carroll, who was teammates and best friends with Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham in high school, is returning to Scottsdale Chaparral to lead the football program. Carroll played for two of the greatest high school coaches in Arizona history, Ron Estabrook and Charlie Ragle. He played at the tail end of Estabrook's career and the start of Ragle's tenure at the school. He was an offensive lineman, next to future NFL tackle Taylor Lewan, on the 2008 team that reached the state final, before losing to Scottsdale Saguaro. The quarterback of that team, Spencer Stone, is actress Emma Stone's brother. "As a proud alumni and as a former football player at Chaparral for Ron Estabrook and Charlie Ragle, I look forward to continuing the program’s great success," Carroll said. Carroll, like Dillingham, got into coaching almost immediately after graduating from high school, helping Ragle out at Chaparral. He spent the past six years as a quarterbacks coach at P...

Tanner Bibee emerged a central piece to the Guardians’ future last season. He’ll now remain in Cleveland until at least 2029. The Guardians signed the right-hander to a five-year contract extension through the 2029 season that includes a club option for 2030, the club announced Saturday afternoon. Bibee was set to become a free agent after the 2028 season. This extension eats up one and potentially two years of his free agent eligibility. For Bibee, it allows him to receive his first major payday without further injury risk. For the Guardians, it allows them to retain him for an extra season or two by giving him some early financial guarantees. Last year, Bibee took over as the club’s No. 1 starter after Shane Bieber needed Tommy John surgery , Gavin Williams missed most of the season with his own injury issues and Triston McKenzie lost his command to the point of needing to be sent to Triple-A Columbus. Bibee was recently named as the club’s Opening Day starter . This article...
