'Very sad' - Bruno Guimaraes reacts to fresh Newcastle United injury blow
Bruno Guimaraes reacts as Newcastle United confirm fresh injury blow.
Bruno Guimaraes has offered his support to Newcastle United teammate Lewis Miley.
Miley will miss the final three matches of the Magpies’ season after fracturing his fibula in training on Tuesday.
The England youth international is set to visit a specialist consultant on Wednesday, with United hopeful he can return for the start of pre-season in July.
A club statement read: “Lewis Miley will miss the remaining three matches of the season after fracturing his fibula.”
“The 20-year-old midfielder sustained the injury to his lower right leg during training on Tuesday.
“He will travel to a specialist consultant on Wednesday before continuing his rehabilitation with the club’s medical team, and is expected to return for the start of pre-season.
“Everyone at Newcastle United wishes Lewis a speedy recovery.”

It is another major injury blow for Miley, who had only recently returned from nearly three months out with a muscle problem.
Miley had started all four matches since the international break, including Saturday’s 3-1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion.
Offering support to his teammate, Newcastle captain Guimaraes wrote on Instagram: “Very sad for you my brother! Wish you a speedy recovery and you know that you can count on me. Love u my guy.”
Guimaraes has only just returned from a long-term injury himself. The Brazilian made his comeback as a second-half substitute against AFC Bournemouth and has since started back-to-back games versus Arsenal and Brighton.
