If you’re searching for the latest Newcastle United injury update today, here’s everything head coach Eddie Howe said ahead of Saturday’s Emirates FA Cup fourth-round tie away at Aston Villa F.C. (kick-off 5:45pm GMT).
The Magpies travel to Villa Park after a strong 2-1 Premier League win over Tottenham Hotspur, but injury concerns are building — particularly around club captain Bruno Guimarães.
🔴 Bruno Guimarães Injury Update
Bruno Guimarães was forced off during Newcastle’s midweek victory at Spurs after suffering a hamstring issue.
Speaking in Friday’s pre-match press conference, Howe admitted:
“With Bruno, we are awaiting the full extent of his hamstring injury.”
At this stage, Newcastle’s medical staff are still assessing the injury. There is no confirmed return date, making him a doubt not only for the FA Cup clash but potentially for upcoming Premier League fixtures.
The Brazilian international remains one of Newcastle’s most influential midfielders, so any extended absence would be a significant blow.
🟡 Lewis Miley Injury News update
Midfielder Lewis Miley will also miss the trip to Aston Villa due to a thigh injury.
Howe revealed the 18-year-old sustained a heavy knock resulting in minor muscle damage:
“We don’t think it’s going to be long term — hopefully he will be back pretty quickly.”
The club expects Miley’s absence to be short-term, with ongoing scans monitoring his progress.
Positive Progress for Joelinton and Tino Livramento
There was more encouraging news regarding two players nearing returns to action.
Joelinton
Joelinton is progressing well but is unlikely to feature this weekend. However, Howe indicated the midfielder is not far from being match-ready.
Tino Livramento
Livramento remains on track for an early March return. He is back training on grass and steadily rebuilding fitness levels.
